What you are asking for requires the router to support UPnP (Universal
Plug-n-Play) and have it enabled. Without that, there is no standard
way to configure a router from an application. The admin has to do it
manually.
If the router does support UPnP, then there are several third-party
components for UPnp, such as http://www.whitebear.ch
