I have read about forwarding already and searched for guides on how to that, however I am totally confused. Is there any "forwarding for total idiots" way how to that? I am hopeless nOOb when it comes to anything more complicated than turning on the computer and launch an application

Oh yes, this is important, I am doing that already and recommend to everyone to do so as well.
