"No incoming connections" means that people cannot connect to you on your listening (announce) port. The port is closed from the outside. Your computer is probably behind a router, and in that case you need to either forward the announce port in the router to the PC running deluged or make sure that you have a working UPnP or NAT-PMP setup.

I use a Shiro DSL805E Router and tried to follow a guide at portforward.com to forward the incoming port but it asked me to configure LAN Clients and enter ip addresses and stuff. I'm not a network guru and i got confused. Is there some easy way to fix this?

Client side configuration is setting the announce port in deluge: Preferences-Network ("From" and "To" should be the same port if you only want to forward a single port in the router). Now you have a service listening on that port on a LAN client. The next step is to make sure that people can cannot to your LAN client from the outside.

You need two pieces of information to configure portforward in the router: the private IP address of the computer running deluged (the daemon if you have the GUI and daemon on separate machines) and the announce port which is to be forwarded in the router.
