    Firstly, as weeder rather abstractly pointed out, O2 "Broadband" isn't really designed for something like online gaming or connecting a network to the internet. It is a 3G network, like high tech mobile phones. So you might find you have problems with connections being dropped and things like that.

    As for opening ports on the router, you need to go to the interface for the router, most likely a web based interface. Look at your manual for adminstrating the router, or try putting http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.2.1 into a computer connected to the router (you may need to give your computer an ip address in the same range, such as 192.168.1.10 or something)
