Bittorrent & Guarddog

I new to guarddog but can't seem to find any information on why packets
are being dropped when I attempt to use Bittorrent.

I'm using guarddog 2.4 and have enabled the check boxes for all zones
for the listed bittorrent protocols (peer and tracker). I've even added
some custom rules for the ports 6881-6889 even though it would appear
that would be redundant based upon some of the prior suggestions. I have
only added one additional zone (LAN) which is basically my local area
network: 192.168....

My linux machines sits behind a linksys router/fw and it's this box that
does the NAT translation and connects directly to the Internet. When I
start up BT I get many of the following drop messages which I've just
selected one as a example:

Jun 24 15:47:30 raven kernel: DROPPED IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.1.151
DST=<internet address> LEN=119 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=3243 DF
PROTO=UDP SPT=6881 DPT=8009 LEN=99

Any suggestions - or guides to correct this?
