The name of the router is the "Ubee DDW365"

Thank you so much in advanced.

The local field is the IP the server is looking for, and the external field is for the port you are using from the outside connection. The reason for these fields is for a situation like windows remote desktop where it uses port 3389, well lets say you want to be able to remote to three different computers. So you can set external port of computer A to 22221 and local port to 3389, external of computer B to 22222 and local...

So for your scenareo:
Local IP: PC the server is on
Local start, local end, external start, external end: 25565
