8332 is the JSON-RPC port, not the Bitcoin port (which is 8333). What are you trying to do? What sources are you reading in order to try to do what you are trying to do? Which are the faulty topics you mention?

It should work _out of the box_, unless you want the Bitcoin network machines to connect to your machine as well. Do you want the Bitcoin network machines to connect to your machine? Or would you be good enough if your machine connects to the Bitcoin network machines?

Maybe comment the version you are trying, maybe share your bitcoin.conf file, or the command line arguments you are using.
