port router?

[Richard G. Harper]

The port(s) you need to open depend on what service(s) you need to enable.
For example, ports 135 through 139 and 445 are used by File and Printer
Sharing; port 3389 is used by Remote Desktop connection. Most applications
(like games) will tell you if they need specific ports opened to work
correctly.

wireless.Everything is fine.PC has a firewall( trend micro)-I'd like to add
the routers IP to the exception list,which is no problem.But it askes me
which port to open for the router to work properly.How do I find out the
port# of the router?Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance Anna
