If you've ever done port forwarding, all you need to do is forward the five PlayStation Network ports, allowing the PS3 (not your computer) to access them. Here are the ports you need:
PSN1 TCP: 80-80
PSN2 TCP: 443-443
PSN3 TCP: 5223-5223
PSN4 TCP: 3478-3479 (NOTICE THE DIFFERENT NUMBERS!)
PSN5 TCP: 3658-3658
