I was having the same problem with getting DHCP assignment from cable
modem. After monkeying around with it for a while I decided to cycle
power on the cable modem. That did the trick! It seems that it doesn't
like a switch of client's MAC address without a power cycle. This may
not be your situation, but that was what I ran into.

For me, just opening u5060 is required. The rest are negotiated and
routed properly. I am not an iptables expert though. However, I was
able to add in forwarding of a couple ports to another IP on the lan
for a specific app (not voip related). I am using version 0.3 scripts
though, not 0.4.

Have fun!
