Scott, please don't take any of this personally. When you've seen as much grief as I have caused by well-meaning people who thought they knew enough to be safe, you might forgive me for being blunt.
It does seem hard to swallow when you say you know what you're doing, but in the same breath you say you don't know how to forward the relevent ports to the server. Still, I'm not a Windows guy so maybe it's much harder to set this sort of thing up in Windows.
Anyway, it sounds like you have a plan to get this happening. It takes a lot of time as I'm sure you realise. Getting your friend involved sounds like a good idea.
I would simply encourage you to take it very slowly and be patient. And when you're ready, you can feel safe and have fun at the same time. Good luck.
