You should not need to open up any ports in your router, and certainly port 88 is not one of them. Your firewall will need to allow an outbound connection using port 443, that is all. Since that is the HTTPS port, it is usually allowed by default.
Regarding the hosts file - unless that file is hidden (check in folder options that hidden or system files are visible), which I don't think it usually is, then just create a new one with notepad and paste that line into it. Make sure it is just called hosts, not hosts.txt or something like that.
