Default What is my Static IP re: uTorrent?

I've used what is my IP to find my IP and I assume that is my static IP.

I got it so's I could forward a port on my Billion router so's uTorrent would work. I was following the instructions on Portforward.com.

I've got a little home LAN here and I've got a local 192.168.x.x IP that belongs to that. I assume that is NOT the 'static IP' that Portforward tells me to use. That's also the IP that ipconfig gives me, though, so I needed somewhere to find my static IP.

So I went to, or came to, 'What is My IP' and I got a 203.171.x.x IP from there.

I put it in as a rule in the Billion router and checked and the port didn't open. I put the local IP in as a rule in the Billion router and checked again and still the port won't open.

I'm not using Windows firewall. I'm using Comodo. And AVG. And that's it. And Firefox. The only strange thing to happen recently is from Firefox. After one of its updates it now always gives me a 'search settings notification' every time I start a new window. What that's about I've no idea.

Can someone assure me that the IP found by 'What Is My IP' would be my Static IP?

Can someone tell me what 'possible proxy' means? It is there in the WIMIP report. Could it be an indication of some skullduggery going on in or around my machine?

And, lastly, a long shot this, could anyone point to a possible solution to my IP forwarding/utorrent not working problem?

( I should point out that utorrent has been working fine on my machine for years, literally, years. And I've repeatedly setup routers for port forwarding in the past, quite successfully, too. But I'm getting old and feeble and I don't even remember what IP I used to put into it.... I remember nothing... I need help....
