damnit nferno beat me to my post, i was going to say, you just set your program to allow either, the specific program to use the ports, or to set it to allow those specific ports to open all the time.

if you have a router the only way to open the port is to read the manuel for the router, find how to access your options and set one of the above. in theory most routers can do that, but i haven't seen it done before.

your better off not hosting and having your friends host. it's not really that hard.
