Your best bet is to start by reading the "Networking Users Guide.txt that comes with AlephOne. It gives an overview of what is required as well as specifics, like what port it uses.
You can get your IP address (as it is seen from the outside world) from http://www.whatismyip.com/
As for the ports - tcp/ip traffic (the underlying protocol that drives the internet) allows programs like alephone to connect to each other by ip address and port. A port is like a hole that the game data passes through.
Are you using a router or firewall of some sort? if you are, you will need to make sure that the port is open on the router, and that it forwards packets to your machine. I can't help you with this as there are many different types of ADSL router, I only know mine.
If you are using a modem, then all you need to to is make sure that the windows firewall lets data in on the right port.
hope it helps
