Newbie Q: How to open ipchains firewall to forward ports to XBox Live

I am using a Linux box as a firewall between my cable modem and my
home network. It's an older version of Redhat, using ipchains. I
have successfully set ipchains to masquerade all my home traffic out
to the net for web browsing, e-mail, etc.

Now I want to add XBox Live to the mix. (Actually, I will need to do
this on Christmas morning.)

I have already opened up the firewall to the three ports I believe
XBox Live needs: udp 88, udp 3074, and tcp 3074. The XBox still
can't connect.

I believe I need to forward packets on these ports from the internet
to the XBox's private IP address, using ipchains. I've been messing
about for a couple of days without success.

What should I be doing?
