Normally the router will have a web interface with a fill-in-the-form 
screen for where you want inbound connections to go.  Most of the 
vendors will have manuals on line in the support section of their web 
sites.   The tricky part is that you need the DNS name seen from the 
public side to give the routers IP addresses (and more than one is OK), 
while from your private LAN you will probably want that name to give you 
the private IP of the server.
