If you're behind a router, you have to forward your ports in order to make ANY kind of server. So whether you feel like it or not, you have to in order to host a game.

No, I've hosted successful LAN games without port forwarding.

Be sure you are connected directly to your router unless LAN works through wireless for you, and instead of having Wireless Connection enabled disable that and enable LAN connection (Start, Control panel, Network Connections, should be those options in there).
