You need to forward the correct ports. Try doing a search here in Networking or Off Topic to see if you can find the thread that mentioned what ports to forward. I can't remember what ports they were exactly, but I'll see if I can find the thread.

ident port is an important one for some servers.

All you should need to forward is port 113

You need to read the instructions for your router to find out how to open the ports you need. Each brand is different.

is forwarding a port the router jargon for opening a port?

No. forwarding a port is NAT "jargon" for forwarding packets to a particular port on the external ip address to a port (typically the same port) and ip address on the internal network.
