I have an issue with getting online to play MW2 or MW3' my NAT is strict. I need to try and open it so I can play, I have found some instructions but there is a couple of sections that I don't understand. Any help would be appreciated. The instructions say -

1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the PS3.
Internet > DHCP tab
On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
Reserve address by: MAC Address
Click Continue.
MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the PS3>
IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AXn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
Click the "+" (Add) button
Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the PS3>
Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
Click "Continue"

What does it mean UDP and TCP? Where do I get these from and what should go into it?
