You also need a static EXTERNAL IP address. This is set by your ISP so give them a call.

It wont change, it's free, and easier to remember. When it comes to port forwarding, you can open them using your router's interface. Go to 192.168.1.1(192.168.2.1 in some cases, just try) and go from there. If it requires a password, it was done by someone who knew what they were doing... Ask that person for help. Otherwise, google "<routers model#> user manual" or "<routers model#> port forwarding".
