The simplest way Orion is to log into your router and DMZ the IP address of the computer you plan to Host from.
You may need to also turn off the Windows fire wall and anti-virus program.

DMZ and turning off fire walls opens all ports into your hosting computer but it also makes the Hosting computer vulnerable. When I hosted this is what I did because I was too lazy to open the specific ports in my router to allow others to join. DMZ was simple and worked easily for me and I had nothing of value on it.

If the Hosting computer has nothing of value on it then this is the most hassle free way to go.

If you want to protect the computer you're Hosting from then you should listen to Bubba's instructions!

You may have to download the router's PDF to figure out how to DMZ a specific computer using your router.

If you send your maps to viiper, he will put them up on his server and he and I will test them out for you.

I would rather you didn't. The only maps we have ever put on any of our servers are maps made by Squad Members.
