I need to portforwad for my call of duty server. How do I portforwad on this type of router?
 
The best thing you could do is logon to sonicwalls web site, create yourself an account (using the serial no from the sonicwall), then browse the pdf downloads. From what I remember it has all the information you'll need. This will vary depending on whether or not you're running the standard Firmware OS or the Enhanced version.

I going to put a hub in front of the firewall so i don't have to do anything.
 
So instead of protecting the server you are leaving it open to attack. Your server will quickly become a virus laden spam relay and your IP will get blacklisted possbily causing your ISP to drop you. Oh, and the trojans installed on the box will capture your connection information and your "protected" network will be compromised. You post a question in a security forum since you do not know how to proceed and then throw the advice out since you cannot be bothered to read some documentation.

Smart move, really.

You really do need to provide protection for this server. Instead of just plugging a hub in, how about picking up a small firewall and creating a DMZ. You will regret placing this server on the Net without adequate protection.
