VMware Port Forward Problems

I've been trying to get a virtual machine running on my OVH dedicated server and am having problems getting port forwarding to work correctly. From what I can tell everything is setup correctly but tests on the virtual machine always return the port as closed.

Both the physical machine and the virtual one are running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition and i'm using VMware Workstation (V7.0.1 build 227600).

I have the virtual machine set to use network adapter VMnet8 and then in the virtual network editor VMnet8 has the following settings:

(192.168.145.128 is the virtual machines IP address)

I have utorrent running in the virtual machine and set to use port 31139 however yet when i use the utorrent port test it says its closed.

Hopefully someone who has a bit more experience with VMware or networking in general can point out where i'm going wrong. Thanks in advance.
 
and how exactly are you forwarding traffic to a NATd IP address? Your router will see that as an external address as it doesn't belong to the internal network of which it is aware...

What you need to do is a bridged conneection for your VM, let it pick up an IP your router will see as being on the same netowrk, and port forward the traffic to that.
 
The machine is in a data centre so isn't behind a router or anything so I can't get the VM assigned another IP address (unless i pay for another).

The host machine has an ip address 91.121.xx.xx and so if i try to connect to 91.121.xx.xx:31139 I was expecting it to connect to the VM, please correct me if i am mistaken.
