manual port forwarding

I want to use the Blizzard Downloader to download a trial version of StarCraft II. I downloaded a 7 GB download for 4 days only to get to 99% and find that my download could not be authenticated. I was then given 3 things t do to get past the problem. Tried the first two and that didn't fix the problem. Lastly, I should manually set port forwarding to allow port 6112 tcp and UDP out and in.

I have tried to do that, but don't know how. My PC security is being managed by Norton360. I have a Belkin wireless adapter and a Linksys wireless router attached to my Internet source.

I was encouraged to pay $30 for a program that would configure my ports automatically...which was about the same amount I would have to pay for a full-blown StarCraft II client disk. Ridiculous.

Any advice on the manual port forwarding task? Not sure this right place to ask, but asking, all the same.

Thanks,
