Basic router problem, need help.

Help!

I am running a US Robotics Sureconnect 9003 ADSL Modem/Router and all
I want to do is open a port.

I am running a PC with Windows XP Home edition installed with Zone
Alarms free firewall and the above router, I have tried a number of
things to make a port open to the internet, but whatever I tried I get
nowhere (I am using the shields up website to test (all ports remain
"stealth"))

My ISP is freedom2surf and I have their 512K ADSL wires only
connection

Currently I am unable to run the following applications:

Battlecom
mIRC
eMule (LowID)

Any help would be appreciated, The user guide can be found:

http://www.usr.com/support/9003/9003-ug/index.htm

However I can not see the woods for the trees, with the all the
options with this router and little experience of networks

thanks in advance

First, disable zone alarm and check again with grc - that should tell u if
it is your router or a zone alarm problem
