Reset firmware on my router - why are my ports still forwarded?

[gfrobe]

As subject says, I updated the firmware on my dlink DI-624 and it wiped out all of my settings. I was just getting ready to reset the port forwarding but ran the check in Utorrent and it says that the port I use is open and accepting connections. This open port is not listed in my D-link settings so how could it be open? Also, how would I now go about closing it or changing the port number if I wanted to?

Thanks.

Hm... sounds odd... is the firewall disabled on the router?

Hmm.. I'm not really sure to be honest. I go to the firewall setting and both the enabled and disabled buttons are blank. However, there does seem to be a rule there that allows utorrent through on that port but all the check mark next to the rules are greyed out. I don't know why those firewall settings were not wiped out when I updated the firmware.

As you can see, I'm pretty clueless about all of this. If I'm using Zone Alarm, should I also have my router firewall on? And if the firewall is off, does that mean I don't need to forward the ports?

Hardware firewall > software firewall

You probably do still need to forward, but since the rule's already there...
