Is Norton blocking my utorrent connection?

I tried improving my utorrent speed by using a guide on this site. I had to allow a UDP and TCP port on my Windows Firewall. Everyone else who used this guide said there utorrent showed the green light after they had followed this guide. I followed the guide step by step and it now shows the red light. Does this mean my Norton Internet Security is blocking my utorrent.

P.S. I have Windows Vista

Many ADSL modems *ALSO* need to be configured. Check portforward.com for your modem model!

Your ISP is likely extremely hostile to BitTorrent traffic and may be blocking uTorrent...

If you've never had a problem with Zone Alarm before, you're either blind or out of luck.
