Port forwarding is something that is typically done at the router level. that is if you have a Internet Router , Access Point or similar, log into its control panel typically http://192.168.0.1 and click on the advanced or tools section, there should be pages there that allow you to point specific ports to your computer's ip. The exact details vary greatly depending on the model of our router.

Port forwarding is done on your router or firewall. Port forwarding is a software function that allows you to forward a request from the Internet to a host "inside" on your local network.
Say you have one Global IP address, as most all home users have, and you share this Internet connection among many PC's in your home. For example, port forwarding will let you setup a web server on your home network and send the request from the Internet to your host that is running as a web server.
How you actually configure it depends on the specific type of router or firewall you are using.

its usualy a router setting-goto cmd prompt-type in ipconfig to get your gateway ip address-type that into your IE or whatever explorer you are using-from there log in and goto port settings-create an open port for what you are wanting to use for torrents or whatever-then goto your firewall and add the same port to be accepted on your OS.
thats it in a nutshell-you can use www.wikipedia.com for more detail.
