I hope the subject says it all...

I'm told that while using xbox live behind a router (I'm using FreeBSD
5.2.1), ports 88 and 3074 need to be open.

I have this working for internal addresses in the 192.168.2.* range, and
it DID work back when I had a linux box doing the routing.

Can anyone tell me what's going down, if this is the right way to do it,
or supply more information or troubleshooting? Any help at all
appreciated.

Here's the lines I'm using to try to do this, based on the web searching
I've been doing.

in /etc/rc.firewall.local:

# XBOX: (UDP 88, UDP 3074, and TCP 3074)
ipfw allow log tcp from any to any 88
ipfw allow log udp from any to any 88
ipfw allow log tcp from any to any 3074
ipfw allow log udp from any to any 3074

and in /etc/natd.conf

redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.216:3074 3074
redirect_port udp 192.168.2.216:3074 3074
redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.216:88 88
redirect_port udp 192.168.2.216:88 88
