You may very well have to do that. It all depends on the modem, as a lot of the newer ones require that. I'd suggest that you go to http://www.portforward.com/ and see if your modem is on their site.

Glad you sorted it out. Stick around

have you indicated the opened ports in Utorrent as well?

I don't have much experience running uTorrent behind a router since I typically DMZ the main systems IP. But I'd look for a new firmware for the router if it hasn't been updated in a while. It can do wonders sometimes. Also double check that UPnP port mapping is enabled in uTorrent.

Try fully resetting your router (after backing up your settings) then restoring, and see if it works, it may be corrupted. I've had it happen to many a linksys router.
