I have read the guide on how to 'Max out download speeds on Utorrent' but that hasn't really done anything. I've searched on google for about an hour and no luck.

When I go to portforward.com and try to get a static ip, my internet connection fails immediately. I assume the lack of a static ip is my problem. When I type in ipconfig/all in run, my ip shows up as 192.168.1.100 (I have also tried putting in my external ip that is listed on Portforward and the Port Checker). The problem I think may be happening is my DNS server. There is only one listed in the Run application, so I decide to leave the alternate blank. Doing so, like I said earlier, will not allow me to connect to the internet. I have listed Utorrent as an exception in my windows firewall (and other security programs) so that can't be the problem.

What can I do to solve this?

If you are using a router, try typing "192.168.0.1" into your web browser address line. This is the most common ip address for routers. It should bring up your router's configuration page. Find where to set port numbers for forwarding, and enter whatever port number you are using. Make sure to enter it for both TCP & UDP settings. Depending on your router, if you have one, you may have to make a user-defined rule allowing applications to use this port as well. Look up your specific router for step by step info...
