I'm currently experimenting with Bittornado, however because i share my connection via a router i believe i have to forward some ports, the only problem is i'm unsure what this involves.

I have an Origio ADSL router (eastern european, not very userfriendly), has lots of menu's like WAN and PPP which are meaningless to me, however i found one called Virtual Server Configuration which seems appropriate.

However it asks for the following:

Public port: well i guess this is the ones i want to open sp 6969 and 6881-6889
Private Port: I have no idea what this is
Host IP address: i assume this is my PC's own personal IP address?

Anyhlp on what i need to enter for private port etc would be greatly appreciated?
