Not sure if your router will pick it up, but just loading the uPnP
plugin should hopefully get you those extra ports forwarded. If you
load it up then go check your router software and see if it's got a
uPnP section ( I use Tomato on my WRT4GL and it has a section for uPnP
) or just look in your normal port forwarding section you should see
them.
