Port forwarding in Windows Server 2003
I connected a SlingBox player ( www.slingmedia.com ) on my LAN, the server assigned a DHCP Address but in order for me to remote access it , I need to forward requests on port 5001 to that device, I know how to do that on the router but not on the server. The router is a very basic one and it does not port forward, all I could do was put the server on DMZ. I know I can go to slingmedia but I also have a surveillance system that needs 4 ports forwarded to it for remote access.

The server has 2 NICs and one of them is for local traffic, the other gives internet access. The slingbox detects the local traffic NIC as the network to use.
It that case, you'll need to configure Network Address Translation (NAT) through RRAS. Detailed guide on the required procedure is at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816581.

Will the server know what ports those devices need when being remote accessed?

If the server has 2 NICs, you'll need to use the Routing and Remote Access console to do your port forward. I expect you are using the router on your network as your gateway for all local clients, in which case, the only device which needs ports forwarding to is on the router, pointing to the IP address of the SlingBox.
