Bittorrent - THERE!... I said it !

System:
SBS 2003 Premium/ISA NOT installed yet/2 NICS/Cable modem direct to
SBS WAN NIC/All server updates installed/workstation: XP SP2

I want to get Bittorrent working on a workstation
(which CAN be used for legitimate purposes, now back off! ;-)

It requires a few ports be open and port forwarding
So I opened the ports

But the port does not sem to be open - it doesn't seem to have done
anything, I went into CEICW and set up the firewall to open port 50000
but when I do a GRC port peek, it says its still closed
I went through Routing and Remote Access/Server/IPRouting/NAT/Basic
Firewall and tried it there. Still no port open according to GRC or my
App. I unchecked "enable a basic firewall on this interface". Still
can't get in. Any Ideas at all ? I have been working on this all day
getting nowhere.

You don't have to reboot to get a port to open or anything like that
do you ?

Also under NAT/Basic Firewall along with my LAN and WAN interfaces,
(and loopback and internal) there is a "Small Business Broadband
Connection" interface that is simply set to private interface/private
network - should that be that way ?
