Port Forwarding on Skype?

So I'm hoping to start a podcast, but for now I need to figure out how to record a Skype conversation. So I need to figure out how to forward the port from my firewall to my computer running Skype. I've searched for an answer, but I have yet to find one, so I'm hoping you can help.

:)

    You're confusing terms. You can only record a Skype conversation on the computer the conversation is on. And you forward ports in a router. (You open them in a firewall, but that's to allow incoming connections, not to send TCP port data from one computer to another.

    For what you want to do you'd have to find a program that does it (which I doubt you will) or write one yourself.

    It's much easier to record the conversation on the computer that's running Skype, then copy the file (the recording) to the computer you want it on.
