Port forwarding

your question is extremely vague, but port forwarding is typically done on your router/NAT device. what "program" are you referring to?
 
I need to host a game and need that port forwarded. I have fios I think my modem has a fire wall built In it. Otherwise my PC is running onecare with vista 64

Generally, port forwarding is a setting in your router. Find out how to access your router's control panel (IP address, default username/password), and look in there.
 
you need to access the router to do that, there is no program you can run on your computer that will bypass a router thats between your computer and the internet.
 
You'd get a lot better advice if you listed:

1) Your modem make/model
2) Your route make/model
3) The game you are trying to host
 
I don't know about funny but being way too vague to really get any assistance. Haven't people ever heard of google? google "port forward for verizon router" Tada - give you all the info you need. With the info you've given, that's the best I can do at this point

It Not a matter of "Funny" one of the problem of being ignorant is that most time One Does Not Know what he does not know.

Then people get one liner help, and it make it worse because Now they Know what they do not know and they get anxious (or depending on their personality aggressive).

About having a program to open port, the OP is Not wrong there this proliferating around.

The problem is that tool like this by luck helps very few, and contributes to leave many others with their ignorance, seeking for more snake oil.

In any case.

1. On the left side of the Windows Live OneCare display, click View or change settings.
2. Click the Firewall tab.
