It is important in order to setup port forwarding on your router that your computer has a static IP address assigned. Port forwarding will not work properly without. If you don't know how to do it, look at this guide for different operating systems (or come back here and leave a comment with your operating system details and I walk you through the steps.)
Once that is done, open a web browser and enter the IP address of your router in the address bar. the default IP address should be 192.168.0.1.
When you are logged in, click the Setup / Configuration link.
Then click the Advanced Setup link in the left panel of the page.
Click the Begin Advanced Setup button.
Click the Port Forwarding link in the left panel of the page.
Enter the values 5198 and 5199 in the IP Port Range fields.
Select UDP from the drop-down menu and the static IP address of your computer in the IP Address field.

Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is password. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
Click the Security button near the top of the page
Click the Applications link near the left of the page.
Put a dot into the User radio button. Click the New button near the bottom of the page.
