Trouble with port forward

[cy_berg]

Hi,

I have a problem with the port forwarding. I am using a Netgear WGT624 V3 wireless router, and I have followed the steps in these 2 webpages:

Static IP

Port Forward

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/WGT624v3/WGT624v3index.htm

So first I changed my computer from DHCP to having a static IP. I found out the DNS setup needed via the router configurations. I set the static IP to the same IP that my computer had when using DHCP. My setup after setting up the static IP is:

IP: 192.168.1.7

Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Mask: 255.255.255.0

DNS: 85.30.160.10

DNS2:85.30.129.10

The IP address that my router has is 192.168.0.34, which should be the IP address provided by my ISP?

After settint the static IP, I set up the port forward in my router:

Port: 6889 (I've tried a bunch of different ports, always changing this both in the router and in the uTorrent)

IP: 192.168.1.7 This is the IP of my computer (the static IP), not the router, right?

After this, I run the uTurrent Port Checker, but always get the message that the port isn't open. When running that check, I get the message:

Checking port 6888 on 85.30.169.215...

What IP is that 85.30.169.215? Is that an IP that I should have set up somewhere?

By the way, I have disabled my Firewall (Norton Firewall) so that should be no problem...

I am having the same problem so I hope when someone answers YOU, I can see it as well!! It is frustrating as the devil, isn't it?
