Port forwarding relates to your router and where it directs certain traffic it recieves from the internet. A common example is remote desktop usage. You set up a certain port to forward straight to the machine you want to connect to remotely when you're away. Etc.. Stuff like that. If you're looking for more detail check out wikipedia.
