Your trying to do this on a router I am assuming? Also I do not really see how this is their problem as opening and closing ports is the most basic task you can do with a router. It would be like buying a car and then complaining that you do not know how to drive in the rain.

Also is there anything your trying to gain from this thread like how to open the ports?
