Hi Maryse,

First thing you need to do is access your router through a web
browser by typing the address of the router into the address bar of
the browser - same as you would have done when you originally set up
your network. Mine is 192.168.0.1 - yours might be the same, or
might be different, depending on your network setup.

Once you have accessed your router, what you need to do to open
particular ports will depend on the make & model of your router. Do
you have a printed manual for your router? If you don't, you might
find a PDF file on the software CD that came with your router, or
you might have to download the manual from your router
manufacturer's website.

If you can't find any instructions, or you find only instructions
that are incomprehensible, tell us the make & model of your router
and somebody who is familiar with it might be able to help.
