This URL -- http://saturn5.hn.org/ps2.html -- explains what you need to do and how to do it on a BSD router. I can translate that for iptables, but I'm too rusty on ipchains to do it there (or even to know for sure whether it *can* be done). Perhap someone here who remembers the intricacies of ipchains better than I can pick this up and provide the needed detail.
The short version: the system needs a set of NATing rules that NAT LAN sport 6000-6999, -AND- will ACCEPT unrelated traffic back to those ports. I can believe that Linksys router do this ... they are way less paranoid than LEAF routers. Standard ipchains port forwarding (I **think**) doesn't do this because it does not reliably NAT connections *originating* from the LAN host at (say) port 6000 to router external port 6000 ... it only port-forwards traffic originating to router external port 6000 correctly.
