Hey guys!

First off, I'm using a LinkSys WRT54G dual band wireless router.
I'm just now starting to forward specific ports on my router, but I want to make sure it is really as easy at it seems. For example, I use Azureus as a torrent manager (port 6881) once in a while and I wanted to make sure the port was open...is this all I need to do? I want to forward the port on my PC's IP address, not the router's IP, right?

Also, is there a good link to a site that lists specific ports so I can forward the necessary ones in advance before I run into any problems?
Are there any specific games/apps that you guys know of that I'll need to forward ports to run?

Sorry for the n00b questions...well, no I'm not. Just answer them dangit!

Many thanks in advance!
