Probably something reeeallly obvious here.  I've just successfully (it seems) updated my D-Link DSL-2740B router to apply port forwarding for uTorrent on port 50292.  However, when I test to see if this is working (through the "Test Your Port Forwarding" window), I get the error "50292 is offline and can not be reached".  Also, when I test the Port through uTorrent itself, I still get the message "An error has occurred!  Port 50292 does not appear to be open".

Am I missing something?  Do I need to close/re-open any apps, etc. to get the Port Forwarding working?

Any advice for a newbie?

Cheers,

Neil
