Read these or these, then come back if you have a specific problem not already covered in one of those threads.

PortForward.com is your friend.

If you're just playing a LAN game though, forwarding ports is unnecessary.

(I assume this is what you mean by "opening ports" otherwise you open the ports by making sure your firewall isn't blocking them).

90% chance is your port is not open ;)
