First, you DO NOT NEED DHT in order to use Bittorrent. It's a nice extra, even though it's often disabled by private torrents, but it is absolutely unnecessary, and there are many Bittorrent clients which do not support it and work very well. The placement is unfortunate in BitComet because it seems way more important than it actually is.

Second, this usually means that you have a firewall blocking UDP on the listen port. Many have set up a firewall rule allowing TCP, which is good and necessary for Bitcomet to work well, but they don't set a rule for UDP, which DHT relies upon.
