There are alot of things you might have to change here. First if you are say in a dorm, gl opening up a port to your computer but if its for home use and you are the admistrator of that router, you should have no problem.
The basic Jist of it is here..
For example, say you have a "netgear" router
open up IE 192.168.0.1
U:admin
P:1234
(That is the default Netgear User/Pass)
Once you are logged in, go to advanced or if another router, look for port forwarding.
From there, you will have to open up the port you wish to open and enter a Lan Ip for it to be fowarded to.
So if netgear, open up "port" to 192.168.0.101
Next, go to Network connections, tcip of your Lan connection and specify these settings
ip 192.168.0.101
Sub 255.255.255.255
gate 192.168.0.1
Dns
(Use your isp's) and 192.168.0.1
*Note-if that local ip is in use already, just specify another like 192.168.102 or 103 or 104, ect.
*My examples above are for a "netgear" router, all others will be setup this way but the #'s might be wrong so go to your routers site and view the tutorial on how to set it up with there settings.
