If you want to forward all traffic on a port to the xbox, you should be
able to do something similar to the following:
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p UDP --dport eeee -j DNAT
--to aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:eeee
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -p TCP --dport eeee -j ACCEPT
In this case, the firewall should directly forward UDP traffic coming in on
port eeee directly to the XBox on ip address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd. You will have
to do a pair for each port you want forwarded. (actually, thinking about
it, you may be able to do a range of ports, e.g. --dport eeee-gggg.
