Try the readme.txt file that's in the N2k3 directory.  Ports needed varies depending on whether you are planning on just playing or hosting.

III. NETWORK CONFIGURATION INFORMATION

=========================================

MULTIPLAYER BEHIND A FIREWALL OR ROUTER

By default the following UDP ports will be used by NASCAR? Racing 2003 Season: 32766 for the net_server_port, 32767 for ping port, and then sequentially numbered ports for each allowed client connection (max of 42) starting at 32768.

 (I.E. 32766-32809 )

Wag

  Just installed a wireless router at a friends house, wondering if I
  will need to open up some ports to allow Nascar 2003 to connect
  online. A Google search got me to a dead end, anyone know a site that
  discusses this or is it unnecessary ?

  Thanks

The readme.txt file that came with N2003 has all that info....

Best thing is to try NR2003 and see if it connects.  My Netgear router's
default settings don't actually block any ports, it just allows incoming
traffic on ports where a request has been made, therefore the router
will accept NR2003 traffic.  Your router may be set differently, to only
allow traffic on certain ports as default.
