I have a DLink DSL-502T ADSL Router. I've updated the firmware to the latest version (v2.xxxxxx). For port forwarding, the configuration asks you the following things:
Name:
Type : [TCP/UDP/TCP&UDP]
Port Start:
Port End:
Port Map:
Everythong else is okay, but what exactly is the last one for? For a single port, I just enter the same value in the last 3 boxes. But because of that option, I don't know how to open a range of ports (eg. 6800~6899).

Name: Whatever you want "torrent" is good.
Type: TCP and UDP
Port start: the first port in the series you want to forward. (btw, pick a new port..I like 16881)
port end: the last port. (btw, you only need 1 port, enter the same number in both boxes)
Port Map: the last 1-3 digits of the IP of the computer you want to forward to. For example, if your local IP is 192.168.1.1, the number you would enter here is 1.

By 'Local IP', do you mean the IP entered in the 'IP Address' field, or the 'Default Gateway' field?
Always get confused between the two...

The gateway is the router.

A local IP is the IP of the computer you are physically sitting at.
