2 options (well, the 3rd one involves getting another router that isn't as brain dead ;)
- Put the xbox in the DMZ. Then it will have access to the full, unprotected, Internet. Why may or may not be a good thing, but at least all ports are open ;)
- Security->Allow. Here you can create rules for each port. Make sure you understand the difference between TCP and UDP when configuring the router.

According to the manual, that should be under 'Security'...

You do this on your router, not on the computer.
