Kopete and webcam

I installed kde to get kopete and webcam support. I don't have one myself, but I wanted to be able to receive a feed from my friend. Problem one was that my account was shown as offline no matter what I did. That wasn't a big problem as I had another account which showed as it was supposed to do. Now the problem was that when she offered me to watch the feed I didn't get a dialog box or anything, needless to say nothing showed.

On kopetes page I found this:

I can't receive any webcam stream from my buddies; what's wrong ?
MSN webcam support is not NAT-friendly. Check your NAT router and forward the MSN Webcam port to your computer port on which Kopete is listening for webcam (see Configure/Accounts/MSN/Connection).

How do I go forth with this? I don't understand how to forward the port and which port (how to find out).

Anyway, anyone else have problems with this and/or solutions to it?
