You probably also want to forward the TCP & UDP port for Overnet.  Try
going to a box outside your LAN, and telneting to your public IP at port
4662, and see if you can connect.  If you can, then its probably just
because your client is advertising it's private lan address instead of
the inet IP.  Set the option "use_server_ip" to true, and you should be
back in business.
