When you say it is by wireless do you mean that you are effectively sharing a wifi link with others, or is more sophisticated than that? If you are sharing a wifi link then it is the wifi base station that would have to have the port opened to your machine. If it is not shared wifi then can you give us more details of how it works? Who is the supplier? They may be alternatives to achieve what you want to without opening ports. What do you need the ports opened for?
