you may want to go to portforward.com and see if they have instructions for your router there. If not check with the maker of the router and they may have instruction's or a manual that will tell you.

You have to be able to access your router page. For a lot of routers this is done by typing 192.168.1.1 into your internet browser address bar and then entering your username and password which by default is usual admin for both. Once there you will have to use a manual to see where on the page the port forwarding is done.

Do you have Xbox Live? If you do and it works then most likely no ports need to be forwarded. It could be that you either do not have a home network set up on your PC (run windows network wizard). After that you also need to set your files, folders or drives that you want to access (easiest to set the whole drive) for "network sharing" so that when you do make the connection your Xbox 360 will see them.

I am sure if you go to Xbox.com they will have tutorials on how to set everything up.

Here is a post with more things to try:
