Need Help Port Forwarding Linksys Router

Like many, I've been having trouble joining a multiplayer GTA 4 game with other, specific user(s). I was getting a session error or something another and it seemed that a lot of people were having the same trouble. Despite my "Open" NAT, I decided to follow the tutorial that was linked from this thread for Port Forwarding.

Everything was fine until I got to the 2nd step and when the tutorial skips over the steps for setting up Port Forwarding with a Linksys router and jumps to the steps for D-Link routers. Can anyone help walk me through the specific steps for setting up Port Forwarding on my Linksys WRT54G router??

This is Network Information I was using per the tutorial:

* Linksys IP Address : 192.168.1.250
* Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
* Gateway : 192.168.1.1
* DNS : 192.168.1.1

I am able to log into my router settings, but then don't know how to set up Port Fowarding. SOMEONE HELP, PLEASE!!

I had to reset my Network and DNS settings back to automatic so that my NAT will show as "Open." When I did the manual settings on my Xbox per the tutorial, my NAT was "Strict" and remained "Strict" after I finished trying to set up Port Fowarding using the D-Link instructions on my Linksys router.

Thanks in advance
