Please help me with hosting Multiplayer games?

Hi WZ friends,

I've been playing a few months now and go (mostly) by the name Playa.

I'd love to host my own games, but for the life of me cannot figure out how.
I am on a macbook OSX - 10.6.7 - and have a great internet connection now. I use the Mac Timecapsule for wireless connectivity (is that my 'router'?)
When I try to host I get the message "check port 2100 is forwarded" and something about making sure the UPnP is on.
I know I don't have a static i.p. - and maybe I need one? - but I dunno how to set it to static.

If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

It means you need to open up TCP port 2100, so people can talk to your machine.
Usually, that is enabled in the router, and you may need to inform your firewall of that port as well.
