Two possible options:

1) Portforward your modem/router 25565 is the standard port you'll need to use. Visit http://portforward.com/ and follow the instructions for help.

2) You can host a server using hamachi, however, anyone whom wishes to use your server will have to be connected to your hamachi network. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qePQp8ovG9U

(You're better off using step One, its much easier)

If it's just a modem all your ports should be open, although firewalls sometimes block incoming/outcoming on certain ports so you should check your antivirus/windows settings.
