Port are forward

Is UPNP enabled by any chance, not that I've ever used utorrent but that's my guess.

DMZ enabled?

how do I check these?

[xpod]

Options>preferences>connection for the upnp as far as i recall...

It`ll be in the preferneces somewhere

open a command prompt, or type cmd in the run diag.

Within a command prompt type ipconfig /all press enter.

Look for the default gateway, you'll see something like this -

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.101.1

Type that number into IE.exe - http://192.168.101.1

You should now be at the routers configuration page where you can set up port forwarding. May be a good idea to set up a prefered dhcp lease on your machines IP, or set a manual IP otherwise you could loose the forwarding.
