Answer 1

I take it your windows firewall is turned off(if not first add the port to the windows firewall or add utorrent as an exception program) and you have a linksys or some similar router/switch/firewall you have bought or have one from an isp such as ATT. Basically you need to access the config for that firewall, usually via a website on the firewalls ip. This is usually your default gateway. (quoted entries below are actions)
To find your gateway, start...run...cmd.exe ''enter''
type ipconfig /all ''enter''
Your default gateway should be listed(ex 192.168.1.1), then open a web browser and goto http://192.168.1.1
then get into the router, if you dont know the login and pass goto the website for the router manufacturer and download the manual for your router. The default login and pass will be in that manual. In the config for the router(firewall) there is a port forwarding section. What ever port is listed in utorrent for a forwarding port shoul be intered into the forwarding section. From port (from utorrent preferences) To port (the same) To IP: (your machines IP address running urtorrent, you can get this with ipconfig from above)
Add those entries click apply and check your port in utorrent, it will verify if it is bing forwarded or not.

The terminology you are using is not standard, however I believe global port range refers to the range of ports visible to the Internet and host port range refers to the port visible to the system you are forwarding to.
In general you will want the host port range to match the global port range. Good luck.
