Lets see if I can be of any help. Right now my router is set to forward the following.
9000:UDP -server
10500:UDP -UCS
5998-5999:TCP/UDP - login
7000-7100:UDP - zones

Added -> world,zone,ucs to firewall exception list.

Pretty much the same stuff as you'll find in all the other threads.
Double check all your settings and that you are using the correct type in your router for port forwarding. If it doesn't work report back.
