If your router does not support Universal Plug 'n Play (UPnP), then you can manually port forward. You'll also need to forward the same port on your modem/router. Find your model on this list PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall. Listening Port & Manual Port Forward numbers should be the same!!!
