It appears that in order to run a full node port 8333 must be forwarded to that computer.  However, I have two computer on the same router and I would like to run two full nodes. My router won't allow me to forward 8333 to the second computer. What must I do to get that second node up?

I'm running Bitcoin Core version v0.11.0 (64-bit).

Thanks.

Run it with a different port. You can either set your node to use a different port in the bitcoin.conf file and have the router forward that new port or you can keep the same 8333 port on that computer and set up your router to forward a different port number on the router to port 8333 on the computer.
