Port forwarding is telling your router to direct traffic on ports X to computer Y.
IP: This is the IP address of the computer you want the traffic to go to, this needs to be set to static otherwise this address will change on you.
External Port: Port the outside client is configured to
Internal Port: Port the software is configured to (is usually the same as External Port unless you deliberately set it differently)
(This is that say you have 4 computers running the same software, you could give each one its own external port to identify each computer, but have the software all set on the local computers to use the same port).
TCP/UDP: TCP uses error checking, UDP does not. If you don't know which one the software uses then use both.
In your example that should work assuming you have the correct IP address of the local computer.
If you are trying to test this from the outside, you can not use the computer's IP address you need to use your internet connection's ip address. Type "what is my ip" into google and it will tell you your Internet IP (called WAN IP).
Another factor with port forwarding is that most internet connections do not give you a static (constant) IP, it will change every week or two, thus for many programs (not utorrent) you will need to have what is called a DynamicDNS service that will keep track of your WAN IP
