Perhaps your Router is listed on portforward.com?

They have guides on how to port forward for various routers.

Type 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.1 into the address bar of your browser, that will take you into the router settings. If not one of those then you'll need to find out the LAN address of the router.

Look in the DHCP Client list, that will give you the LAN address of computers using that router.

Then go into Virtual Servers. Input the port uTorrrent is using and the LAN address of the machine you want it forwarded to. Bearing in mind you will have to tell uTorrrent not to randomize the port it is using.

Enable the setting and apply it.

In the example below the port has been forwarded to the machine at 192.168.2.6

The specifics may be different for your router, but the method will be pretty much the same.

Ignore the black square, I'm watching TV on this PC.
