You have to use port forwarding on the router to allow incoming data on port 6881, and route it to your computer's internal IP address. Read the instructions Netgear provided you...

So from the diagram given at the link, you want to Add a Custom Service, add 6881 for the Start and End Ports, then add the internal IP address of your computer.
