    That's where my problem is. I can open them up on the linux box, but the
    moment I put the forwarding rule in they close again. I know the
    program/server on the other side is listening to the connections because I
    plugged it directly into my router and port forwarded on that and it worked,
    it just doesn't work through my suse machine

    I'm no firewall expert, but I'll try.

    Opening a port in the firewall is not enough; there must be a service or
    daemon behind responding on that port. Till that moment, they should show
    up as "closed".

    Also, if your intention is that another (2nd) machine answers on those
    ports, simply opening them up in the firewall is not enough.
