Oh yeah, sorry about that. I forgot that it depends on what type of router you have to access its admin page. But yeah, do what stos289 said and he can give ya a really good tutorial.

This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!
Thats gonna be a prob cos i dunno really know what i'm using as a router or its model or worse still do i have a router?
Any ways for me to check what router i'm using or its model??
Ok, I feel this is going to be a long one. First to check if you actually have a router working on your computer, follow these instructions. Go to "Start", then to "Control Panel." When your in the Control Panel go to "Network Connections." When you're in "Network Connections," if there is some kind of LAN (Local Access Network) or Local Area Connection, then you should have a router. If you do, then you're going to need the ip address of the router. To find that go to "Start", then to "All Programs", then to "Accessories" then to "Command Prompt." A black window should show up which is the DOS (Old way of running commands) Prompt. In the window, type in "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks). Some new information should show up. Where it says "Ip Address", if there is a number like 192.168.0.100 (an example) then that should be the ip address of your router. There should also be a spot where it says "Default Gateway." Remember the number combination that is there, you'll need it. Now its time to find out what kind of router you have. First open up a new web browser (IE, Netscape, etc.). Then in the web browser type in " http:// (Whatever your default gateway numbers were with the dots in between ie: 192.168.0.1)" (Also without the quotes). If all goes well, then the main page of your router should show up. If it does, the type and model number should be there. If its not, here is what you should do. First try the username as "admin" (Without the quotes) and password blank (meaning nothing in the box). If that doesn't work, try the opposite with the username blank and password as admin. Hopefully it will grant you access then and the type and model number should appear somewhere. If it does, tell me what it is and I'll give you a step by step guide on how to forward the ports of that router. Hope I could help.
EDIT: Don't mind the link there, I don't know how to turn off the hyperlink.
I typed the number in the browser but couldnt get to my router main page.
What should i do now??
