If you are using a router to connect then not only do you need to port forward in your software firewall program but in the routers firewall also.

Sounds like the admin is talking about a firewall issue. Are you using a firewall program, or a router with a built-in firewall?
When you find out which one, you need to get into the options for it, then ask & learn about port forwarding. Then follow the instructions this person gave you.
If this is too complicated, then you have to turn the firewall off to play the game. Remember to turn it back on when you ae done!!

Make sure you trust this admin.. He already has your ip from being an admin and once he gets those ports open he can easily hack your computer. EASILY.
