The problem is on it going back. Because the cheap router will see the
server sending out on port 80 & will assume that it should continue on
port 80 all the way to the other computer. The only solutions are the
expensive routers or turn a computer into a router. either way it costs
a bunch of money.
By the way both my Microsoft MN-500 & my Actiontec GT701-WG have the
option to change what port the inbound request is going to. The only
problem is the program by default sends on the port it was changed to &
the other computer is most likely ignoring that port.

Yes, me too. Even my Qwest Actiontec modem can take a request on a
certain port (eg 80) and forward it on to ip xx.xx.xx.xx and then take a
request on another port (eg 443) and forward it on to ip yy.yy.yy.yy ad
naseum. Perhaps we are still missing some information.

You're missing the fact that he wants to do this:
xx.xx.xx.xx:1001 -> yy.yy.yy.yy:80
NOT
xx.xx.xx.xx:80 -> yy.yy.yy.yy:80
