Setting a static address in the router is not going to make any difference to this scenario. The defect is with the design or programming of the server, which ought to provide the server operator with the ability to tell the server what its true WAN IP address is. You should tell users to attempt their login to the WAN address of your router, then the port-forwards will redirect their calls to the server on your LAN.
