Why are you trying to use port forwarding?
To setup a lamp server, mail server, ssh server?
If that is your case, well indeed you need to provide your box a static IP
so the port forward will work
If it isn't your case you will need to provide a static ip too, that is how
port forwarding works

In ubuntu double click on the networking icon or go to menu >system >
aadministration > network and you''ll have to uncheck the roaming mode and
then go to properties and in configuration, select from the drop-down static
ip address and enter the ip address, subnet mask, gateway address that
matches your current dhcp config, ex.

ip address: 192.168.0.100
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1

click ok and then you will have to add the dns info in the dns tab, ex.
192.168.0.1 or whatever your router is using to resolve names over the
internet

now that you have assigned the static ip then go to the router ip on your
browser and add the ip address along with the port(s) you need to forward to
that machine.
and that's it!

hope it helps.
