Port Forwarding Question

Well I was using the standard 28000 and 28002 ports in the FPS Starter Kit and was testing it with two other people. one person wasn't able to do anything without port forwarding, the other could connect fine immediately without port forwarding. So then I changed my ports to 6666 and 6667. That gave it the opposite effect. Now the person who originally had to port forward did not need to for the new ports, and the person who connected fine now needed to setup port forwarding for the new ports.
My question is, is there some way around port forwarding? It appears as though certain ports are unblocked on some routers already. Is there some unblocked port I could use?

You'll either have to find a way to fudge the IP your master server reports, or find an external host for your master server.
