If you do not have a direct connection to the internet (e.g. if you go through a wireless network or through a router), you DO need to port forward. It may require some knowledge of your network. The easiest way to port forward is to find an appropriate guide on portforward.com.

If you wanna just play a small server with friends, look up what a VPN is (specifically Hamachi or something), however if you want to run a large scale server you will need to portforward as VPN's get exponentially slower with more users.
