Which ports are used for broadcasting so I can forward them? Thanks.

HostNetwork will broadcast its presence on port 45631 and JoinNetwork will listen on this port, but this will not work outside the local area network as routers won't forward broadcast packets. To use an AppGameKit network over the internet you'll need to get the IP of the host and use JoinNetwork with the IP address rather than the network name.
