                I plan to run a server to host a module on one pc, and play on another pc.

Which ports forward to which pcs for hosting and playing?

               that information is in the readme that came with the game.  

quote... bioware readme. 
Firewall Information
--------------------

If you are trying to connect to a Neverwinter Nights server through a
firewall, NAT, or router, here is some information for you to help you get
connected. First, please read the manual that came with your firewall or
router.

Neverwinter Nights uses UDP, not TCP for its connections.

If you think that your firewall is preventing you from connecting to the
game servers, please make sure that the following ports are open:

Ports 5120 through 5300

If you are wanting to make sure that your NAT is set up to allow the game
to play here are some details:

Outgoing packets:
Source port: 5120-5129
Destination port: 5121-5300

Incoming packets:
Source port: 5121-5300
Destination port: 5120-5129

On the Game Client side, you can select what port your client uses. Go to
your nwnplayer.ini file in your NWN Client Beta install directory. Find the
following section:

[Profile]
Client Port=5120

Change this number if you need to force Neverwinter Nights to connect as a
client on a different port.

on another note.  you should be able to run both  the stand alone server  and the game client on the same PC.

In theory, but my comfortable loungin' laptop I play on is not always on like my desktop file server is ;-)

               Kinda counter-intuitive, I need ALL these for the server to show up, not just the last batch.
I don't have to forward anything to the pc I will play from?

If you think that your firewall is preventing you from connecting to the game servers, please make sure that the following ports are open:
Ports 5120 through 5300

If you want to get a server listing via GameSpy, you’ll need additional ports to be open: 6667, 80, 27900, 28900, 29900, 29901, 13139, 6500

               most likely just forwarding 5120 to the server will work.
