goto... start/run then type cmd or command. Then type ipconfig/all. find your DNS server IP and write it down. Then type this IP into an browser(I.E.,mozilla, etc). This should bring up your router configuration page. There is usually settings in there dealing with ports after you get to the page.

It also may be your firewall... disable any firewalls you may have before you play.

Yes abowlofrice, most likely you won't find an option in your routers setup explicitly stating "open ports". Instead, look out for something that says something to the regards of port forwarding.

Here is a link for you're own reference:
