In trying to setup a full chat session with a friend (that is, peer-to-peer, not using the ICQ servers), she was able to statically open 1024 and away we went. For a full chat session, that's probably all that's needed, but you are also doing file-sharing this way? What ports are you opening? port 5000 or 8000?
My Linksys is a BEFSR41. Four fully Switched ports, Cable Modem or DSL capable.
If I can figure out how to get Linux to use the Port Triggering, I'll let you know.

I can't get the damn router to do port triggering nevermind the OS itself.
i've got:
Use the following ports to listen for incoming connections: FROM: 20001 TO: 20019
yes i do filesharing. I jsut then opened that range on the router. Done.
