Sounds like you need to setup passive mode.
Forward a bunch of ports (30000-30009) to the computer running Serv-U
Then tell Serv-U to use those ports (30000-30009) for passive mode and tell
Serv-U to use your WAN IP as the passive mode ip.
That should take care of that.
Active mode issues are always due to the person connecting to the FTP.
Without an ALG, active mode is very difficult to get working through
firewalls and/or shared connections due to the way it expects to see
listening ports (your firewall/router/whatever won't know to open those
ports and direct them to the requesting computer)... hence the need for
passive mode FTP
