do you get a red or green icon in the status bar?

need to forward the port for utorrent to your local ip

mostly blue ?

do you mean get the port number and forward it on my router?

Enabled encryption?

yes that is enabled

it's like the bottom middle of utorrent, might be a yellow icon..

green means working, any red/yellow = not working

yes, thats what you want to do..

if you're not sure how to set a local ip manually and do the port forwarding, then look here http://www.portforward.com/
