Having looked at the OP again, you're pretty far in the process.
LAN IP Address should be the IP address you're using at your computer. You can find it in the Control Panel of your PC -> Network and Internet -> Edit settings for network card -> right click your connection and choose Status -> Details -> see your IPv4 address.
This will be 192.168.2.XX - and it's the numbers behind the 2. that you have to type in in LAN IP Adress.
Keep in mind, though, that this number can change each time you restart your computer. You can make it 'stick' by changing your settings. In the screen where you clicked details before, you can also choose properties, then TCP/IPv4 and properties again.
Anyway, back in the router settings, description can be anything.
Protocol Type is TCP for 17851 and 17852 and UDP for 3033 and 3034.
LAN port and Public Port should be the ports mentioned before. Make a new line for each port (17851, 17852, 3033, 3034).
Check 'Enable" and click Set.

Or do what I do and the problem is fixed.

The pictures are too small to see what you're doing, but as I pointed out above, there's a difference between opening ports and letting PCM go through the firewall. It's two different "obstructions", both need to be opened.
What you're doing is allowing PCM to connect through the ports that are already opened in your router (like Crue said). If, in IDunNo's case, the right ports aren't opened in the router, your way doesn't make any difference and you'll have to access the router in order to be able to play online.
