1. Find your computer's IP address. In system preferences, click on "Network.: Then click on either Ethernet or Airport (depending on how you're connected to your network). Your IP address will be listed on the right and will likely be something like 10.0.1.3.
2. Open Airport Utility, select your time capsule and select "Manual Setup." Click on the "Advanced" button, then on the "Port Mapping" tab. Click the + to make a new port map.
3. Enter the port mapping information as followed:
Service: Choose a Service (This doesn't matter)
Public UDP Ports: 6890-6900
Public TCP Ports: 6890-6900
Private IP Address: 10.0.1.3 (This must be your IP address that you found in step 1)
Private UDP Ports: 6890-6900
Private TCP Ports: 6890-6900
4. Click "Continue." Type in a description such as "MSN" and then click "Done." The other fields do not mater. Click "Update" at the bottom of airport utility to update these new settings.
Once your airport device has restarted, the ports should then be forwarded.
If this doesn't work properly, it is possible that your time capsule is connected to the internet through another router or router/modem. You must turn off the routing functions on either of the routers.
You can also try enabling the default host in airport utility. This should forward all ports to a computer's IP address. Find it in Airport Utility / Manual Setup / Internet / NAT. Enter your computer's IP address in the "Enable Default Host At:" box and update.
