Utorrent cant connect?

So Im in Australia right now and Ive been having a bit of trouble with the internet. First of all its a LAN connection. At first I was able to connect, but I couldnt get online. none of my browsers could load any pages but they could all get the site icons so i knew that it was connected and the internet worked and it was a browser problem. after playing with it for a bit i got it to work by clicking the auto detect proxy settings in firefox and by clicking "use a proxy server" in the LAN settings in internet options (im on windows 7 and chrome brings you to this page for its proxy settings) and i put the port on port 80 (default setting i thik). I tried to use utorrent but i cant connect to any peers at all (not that Im downloading anything illegal, haha). it cant find anything. Ive tried messing with the proxies in utorrent preferences but its not working at all. If anyone can help me, thatd be great.
