You need to allow the Masquerade Port Range to open incomming connections.
Actually you can specify a port range for it. This is because the Input
chain is consulted before the established check can apply. This is better
solved in ipchains.
Anyway, I do not recommend to allow active FTP inside anyway.

I dont have the 2.2 code here, but in 2.4 it is 61000 - 65095 (hardwired in
the module).
