After making use of tcpdump I figured out it was working correctly, the person calling me was using my dns name which (thanks workmate who has access to such configurations) had a different foward and reverse, so it was actually a dns problem.

After watching tcpdump for a WHILE, I realised I would be there forever working out the port ranges used for file tranfers and chat. You wouldn't happen to know ICQs port ranges for these?
