You can get the WAN IP and create port forwarding for his router in the router configuration.
He might need to refer to the routers manual for instructions on getting into the settings side (mine for example is as simple as typing in an ip address in IE (192.168.0.1), then entering the routers username and password, which enters the routers settings). From there if you goto the "gateway status" or "router Status" you can retrieve the WAN IP. There should also be a tab for firewall rules/port forwarding, in here you need to open a udp port, with the ip adress of the computer that is hosting the game e.g 192.168.0.2, and the port number which is 21000.
Again, if you cant find the tabs, or unsure where to look once your in the routers config, refer back to the manual for the whereabouts of these settings.
