Explain this to me like I'm 2 years old boy 
I'd like to have the ability to serve a game in Warcraft III (which use port 6112) but I'm unable to figure out how to find network IP other than local address (10.0.1.xxx). I'm also trying to understand how to use port forwarding, etc.
Do I have to change the setting in Airport Base Station Utility or I could just use Preferences Sharing's Firewall setting?
I plan to include some screenshots but iDisk is down right now so I'll upload it when it's back up. It basically show my current setups and network info

you'll have to use port forwarding in the airport base station utility to forward the local port from your machine to the WAN address (on the 'real' internet). your personal file sharing preference pane will only affect sharing on your LAN behind the airport unless you enable a DMZ (demilitarized zone, i believe, which puts your computer of choice onto the 'real' internet by forwarding all its ports).
unfortunately, i don't have experience with an apple airport, just a d-link and smc, but it's pretty easy on those.
good luck!

There's a button called WAN Privacy somewhere in there that has a default host and from what I think is the same thing as a DMZ.

I checked WAN Privacy and two options are enabled by default there. Should I turn both of them off?

yeah try turning those off.. that "privacy" probably means blocking the ports that you're trying to keep open.
