Recently I have had the fun of trying to set up port forwarding on my router. There is a lot of documentation on the internet, but most of the time the issue of the IP address just happens to be skipped. Routers seem to need that IP address otherwise they would not know where to do the routing to.
To set up Port Forwarding, you actually need to set up a Virtual Server on the router. Then all that is required is the IP address (usually the IP address of your own PC or server that hosts a specific service), the port range (Lan Bridger uses port 40001) and the protocol which is All,TCP or UDP. What helps a huge amount is the tool for checking if your settings are correct which can be foudn on the Port Forwarding website
