More than likely you'll need to setup a NAT rule in iptables. I have
the NAT being done in the router, by forwarding this range of ports
directly to this machines address. Its all setup in the router for
that.

But I also have to open up iptables a wee bit on my firewall box, with
this rule:
-----------
#!/bin/bash
BTFORWARDADDR=192.168.xx.3 PORTSTART=6881 PORTEND=6999
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -s $BTFORWARDADDR -p tcp --dport $PORTSTART:
$PORTEND -j ACCEPT
-----------
Where the "xx" is a real number of course.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
