What do u mean by port no of the router? Are u asking about the port number required for port forwarding for speeding up torrenting?

Read the tutorial of port forwarding for your torrent client. You will get a range of port numbers available which is also applicable for playing games. Basically, you have to do a "trial and error" thing with a few numbers from within the range till you get the right one. There is no fixed port number for any game. It all depends on your router.

If u are not getting connected to your friends, ensure that the following ports are kept open. For software firewalls, checkout Category:Firewall - LogMeInWiki.com

For hardware firewalls

Quote:
* Hamachi connects to a central server on ports 12975 and 32976 using TCP. The first port is used for a initial contact, and the second is used for an actual session. Hamachi also uses dynamic local and remote UDP ports for communicating with other Hamachi peers.
* If Hamachi fails to connect to the server on 12975, it will try to connect via SSL (server only) on TCP 443 (standard secure port, SSL).
* If peer connectivity is failing (yellow/blue status), you can set a static local UDP port. To set a static local UDP port, open Hamachi Preferences > Detailed Configuration section and set the UDP port value to a port of your choice; we recommend something over 1024.
* Setting a UDP port is normally used in conjunction with configuring port forwarding on your NAT/router device when resolving "yellow status" issues. You can find more info on configuring a port forward to your router/firewall at PortForward.com.

true. Opening too much of ports will make spyware and worms to gain access to the PC easily. Also do not tweak the max half open connections to more than 100. Some do it more, to increase their torrent speeds.
