Here is a router how router works, it is the gateway to the internet the IP from whatsmyip.org is the IP given to you from the outside. Port forward does is opens up a certain port in you LAN to the outside. So the IP you put in the router should be the one on your network locally.

Whoa, slow down.
What are you trying to port forward for?
For a SIMPLE example lets say you want to host a WEB server which uses port 80 tcp, and that's it.
Your whatsmyip is what the public sees so forwarding to there is just making a redundant statement, forget that. They already know that IP or you will give them that IP.
Your PRIVATE computer IP you choose to do the web hosting lets say its 192.168.1.2 [command prompt ipconfig to figure out what it actually is at that computer] so your port forward config would be port 80, tcp, 192.168.1.2
then any connection to the watsmyip on port 80 would be forwarded to your specified server at 192.168.1.2 and it would respond correctly.
There are two port types tcp and udp, you just need to know what the app in question uses, if you want to learn more, google is your friend.

ok, So when I go on to verizon, There are some options to port forward. There is "Name," TCP or UDP, Starting port, ending port, and IP.
There are two IP's I could possibly choose: The one from whatsmyip.org, and the my local IP, which is a bit different. I am trying to port forward the port 25565 so i can host a minecraft server. My problem is I don't know which things to choose. My firewall Settings are on low so i can actually port forward. Should I choose TCP or UDP? Which IP should I choose?
