use commands such as below and either login using the shell or add them to the
bottem of the rc.firewall.up file.

ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 3783 3803 -h 10.0.0.10
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r udp 2300 2400 -h 10.0.0.10
tcp is tcp protocol, udp is udp protocol
3783 3803 includes every port from 3783 to 3803 (including) 2300 2400 ditto
10.0.0.10 is the address (IP) of the internal server.
I use this and other ports of course, for gamespy games and MSN games, I can
host as well as join.
Hope it helps....
