Cant forward ports

[skater66]

When I go to the speed guide on Utorrent, and I try to see If my ports are forwarded it says its closed. It says it on some weird IP adress like 24.17.196.XXX, When I try to add that forward a port with that adress, it says it wont accept it. I dont know whats going on?

What brand of router do you have?
Some routers assign internal IP addresses, some don't. On the ones that don't, you have to define your address under Network Settings (in XP)

I have a netgear WGT624v3, Ive done everything that port forward says but it still doesnt work.
