OK......

You have an External IP. This is the one assigned to your home by your ISP. It may change every couple of days. That doesn't matter. It is the one that any website will send information to. It is the one that shows up on the Peers List.

Then, there are the IPs that your computers have that your router knows about. These are your Local IPs. They look something like 192.168.1.xxx When information comes into your router, it needs to know which computer to send the information to. When your computer asks for info, it sends a request to your router. Your router then sends the request to outside. When the info comes back in, your router knows who to send it back to because it knows what Local IP asked for it and it sends it to *your* computer, not your kids or SOs are anyone else.

So...

The Internet > External IP (from ISP) > Your Modem > Your Router > Local IP > Your Computer

You need to set your Local IP by following the instructions at portforward.com . You then need to set a port number in uTorrent. Then you need to forward that port to your Local IP in your router.

Here are the full instructions for forwarding your ports for uTorrent and DI-524: http://portforward.com/english/route...4/Utorrent.htm

Note, halfway down the page it says the following:

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP
