iptables

[GDHough]

Don't forget to include a rule to the INPUT chain as well:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 8888 -j ACCEPT

-A is usually OK in the FORWARD chain but from my experience forwarding ports 
to internal winboxes for online gaming -I is more likely to work. -I puts the 
rule at the beginning of the chain as opposed to at the end (APPEND) Try -I 
instead for all three.
