Depending on your router, you may have to create a DMZ. Some routers (mine 
is a netgear and falls under this) won't get out with just forwarding ports. 
Took me for-freaking-ever to get it to work too.

Port forwarding (or triggering) is (must be:) good enough
and I don't like DMZ.
Sysinternals TCP/UDP viewer shows
that UnrealTournament.exe opens:
UDP 7777 *:*
UDP 7778 *:*
UDP 8777 *:*
TCP 8080 0 LISTENING (UT WebServer)

but when I turned off WebServer it opens:
UDP 7777 *:*
UDP 7778 *:*
UDP 7779 *:*
UDP 7780 *:*
UDP 8777 *:*

and from \System\UnrealTournament.ini I know that:
[URL]
Port=7777 (game serwer?)
[UWeb.WebServer]
ListenPort=8080 (web serwer - that's clear)

ok, but what are ports 7778, 7779, 7780 and 8777 ?
I'll try to forward only 7777 UDP and (if it fails) next ports.

Forwarding ports 7777 and 7778 should work to run a server on your
local network that is accessible from the internet, at least it does
for me if the server is using std port numbers.  7777 is game play
port, 7778 is query port, as I recall.  You do not need to forward the
8080 port unless you are going to access the server via the web
interface from a location outside your local network.

It should be that easy but some routers misbehave. If you poke around the 
admin page forums there are many threads about UT versus router for no 
apparent reasons.

Scrap it.  Out of stock right now, but if you can find one of these
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833373001 do it. 
Absolutely the best sub-$1000 router I've ever had the pleasure to touch. 
In fact, it kicks the crap out of a lot of >$1000 routers I've set up over
the years.  If the switch side was gigabit, I'd probably never ever install
anything else for anyone ever again.

...or buy tp-link router;
about $20-$30 and spend the change on drink and women :)
