Sounds like you just need someone to setup your home router for you:
Call the tech support for that unit, and ask them to either setup a "DMZ"
(De-Militarized Zone which means the firewall is disabled) to bypass the
built-in firewall, or open the necessary ports in the equipment with you.
In addition to the ports you listed (above) in your post, here's the List of
Ports used for other games:
