From what I can understand is you are trying to forward ports in your router, right?
What game are you playing?
What router are you using?
If you need to see what your IP is, use http://www.dslreports.com/whois (http://www.dslreports.com/whois)
this will give you your IP so you can tell other people where to go if you are hosting the game.

TrapperX asked you something and you ignored his question: your router is a [put your router model here]?
ports in, port out: you have to think you are in the router. ports in: the ports that the router accepts connections (your game ports will be here). ports out: your router sends data to those ports on the destination device.
So, as an example. You have a router and a computer "hidden" behind the router. You want to make a server, a game server, on the hidden computer and you need port forwarding. The game uses ports between p1 (it's a number here) and p2 (another number). Your computer (local) IP is a.b.c.d
On your router you create a new rule:
ports in: p1-p2
(the exact mode of defining that list depends on your router model. What router do you use?)
ports out: p1-p2
destination computer/device: a.b.c.d
(the router will send the data it receives from internet on his p1-p2 ports to the computer's p1-p2 ports. If your computer is not working, no connection is made. Observe: there are the same ports here, p1-p2 on router are the same numbers as p1-p2 on your computer. You can use different combinations, but you have to know what you are doing.)
What router do you use? Maybe it has a link to a manual, to help you with a more specific link; and with a few more specific advices.
