lol, portforwarding isnt a program, its something you do in your router control panel. So if your using a router, go to your browser and type either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 and try to find the section with Port Forwarding, then your just going to select the game and go from there, it varies from router to router.

He probably meant this: http://portforward.com/store/default.htm

It's easy to set up the port forwarding yourself though, just follow one of these guides: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

just to add onto this year old post, i've followed the instructions but i still can't host. The only thing i can figure that i did wrong is the private IP address. Can anybody tell me what it is, because i put my IP down for that area, seeing as i couldn't submit it blank.
