You'll have to go into the device mananger to see what modem is used at work.

And the same for your own computer.

But what is "port foward"....? Do you mean FTP?

You have to contact your system administrator. They need to access the router settings. You won't be able to do this yourself. Tell them which ports you need open and what application you're using.

Make sure you're allowed to do whatever you need port forwarding for, since it's an extreme amount of work for administrator to set up port forwarding out of a local area network; they'll be pissed if you just want to use limewire. Port forwarding makes the network insecure, so they might refuse to do it, even if it's for your work.
