Did you even bother googling for instructions on port forwarding? You would have surely come across this website: http://portforward.com -- It has instructions for hundreds of router models. This site is your friend.

So you want me to magically tell you what router you use? C'mon now. Yes, you have to physically check the box. Bring something to write with.
I can tell you right now the amount of laziness you've shown isn't going to help you at all in running a server. You're going to get frustrated even more quickly than you seem to be now.

I got the port to get open cause i use pfport check and it finally says it can get through but now i dont know what ip to use to get on minecraft so my friends can play
When you get to the port forwarding screen for your router you'll need to know 3 things.
[*:3k2ncsxm]Your LAN IP: (See Below)
[*:3k2ncsxm]The port to forward: 25565
[*:3k2ncsxm]What protocol to use: Your choices are TCP or UDP. There should be an option that'll use both protocols. You want to select this option. (It's usually labeled 'Both.')
To get your LAN IP you need to open up a command prompt:
[*:3k2ncsxm]Windows XP: Start > Run > Type in cmd and hit enter.
[*:3k2ncsxm]Vista / 7: Start > Type cmd into the search box and hit enter.
Once you have the command prompt open simply type ipconfig and hit enter. You'll see something like the image below. The IP you want is labeled "IP Address", and in my screenshot it's 192.168.1.160.
Once the port is forwarded properly to your LAN IP, then go to a site like ipchicken.com to get your external ip address. This is the IP you give to your friends.
did exactly what you said still wont work my command promt doesnt give me ip address it gives me ipv4 or something like that and i used that then used the portchecker.com webstie thing they have to see if the port is working and it says it does FINALLY but then when i go to minecraft and type in the ipchicken adress it wont connect not sure if this screwed it up but portchecker.com told me to download this static ip thing since my router needs it and i made it static but then i made it dynamic again so currently it is dynamic so i dont know what that does but if that helps you help me and i would post screenshots but dont know how
GOT IT thank you so much it was my firewall i had to turn it off but do any of you guys know if there is a way to turn off my firewall for just that im not using windows firewall im using nod32 thank you so much!
I'm a cheap *******, is there any way to do this with OUT having to pay 30 damn dollars?
What would you need to pay 30 dollars for? You don't need to BUY a firewall program just to allow it through. If you don't have a firewall then you don't have to mess with one.
