If it's a Zyxell, give up. Not going to work. I just bought a new router to replace my Zyxell.

http://portforward.com/ scroll down to the Zyxell bit, select model, follow simple instructions.
However, I would suggest you find the "Enable UPnP" in your router rather than Port Forwarding (it's easier).

If you do port forward, make sure you disable UPnP in your Blockland (options somewhere).

Please don't post if you don't actually know what you are talking about.

Enable UPnP (Universal Plug and play)

He's correct, anyone can. All they have to do is enable UPnP.

Some routers (such as airports) do not support UPnP, thus you still have to port forward. He's also not correct in the fact that he assumes because "Everyone can host a working internet server" that you don't have to do anything for it to work (lock).

Oh wait, same way as PCs? I forgot...

Port forwarding and anything like that all depends on the router, if you can port forward on windows, the method should be the same on a mac.
The only router I am aware of having a different method than "IP in favorite browser" is the airport series, in Macs the program is inbuilt, in windows you can download the program.
