To utilize Internet you need an IP address which is the number that looks like '207.206.192.1' or some fashion. Beyond that you need a port or many ports. These are the pipes in which the communications go through. I.e. eMail software generally use port 21.
Ports allow you to do many things at one, browse the internet, on port 80 while downloading eMail from your ISP on 21.
Games utilize ports for communications in the same way, but generally they'll use multiple ports. And the numbers vary.
Firewalls and Routers are just another 'step' between you and your destination (your opponent). They intercept the port requests and generally deny the requests (for the common ones, 80, 21, etc. they are let through as is). To get past this, you assign port numbers or ranges to be allowed through. But forwarding, is IP based. So when you forward ports, it's to one computer only. This may be an issue if multiple people behind the router wish to play online. To get around that, you reassign the ports back and forth between the computers when the other wishes to play.
You can usually assign port forwards in the router or firewall setup. Routers generally are setup through the internet browser. You type in the address of the router (usually 192.168.0.1, or something like that, but it's the 192.168 address thats informative [a router has two addresses, one the outside sees, and one the inside sees])
This is only one explaination of ports, it can be more extensive however. So don't assume thats all that's involved. Your router may allow you to forward generically without a specific IP.
I'm sure, as the other poster noted, that in the HowTo's is a doc explaining what ports need to be opened.
