airport extreme and port forwarding

Does anyone know how to do this properly?

I am trying to forward a port for utorrent, but it stays closed, and I cant seem to get it working.

It's referred to as "port mapping" with Airport Extreme...

First of all, some configuration settings for the AEBS is hidden whenever they are not applicable, so therefore port mapping is not visible for my AEBS in bridge mode. However, I tried this without updating my AEBS settings, so if you are in the same position as me, then do this WIRED.

Go to Airport Utility and log into your AEBS. Select Internet>InternetConnection and change ConnectionSharing to Sharing A Public IP Address. Next click NAT>ConfigurePortMappings, and then "+" to start entering your port forwarding entries.

Hi Camfire,

Done those steps already and have added the port but it still shows as closed in utorrent.

Checked google and there does not seem to be an answer to this! The only thing I didnt do was select a service at the top when adding the port as none of the options seems to be the correct one.
