Exit Relay on Ubuntu 9.10 behind 2wire 2701HG-B firewall

Thanks for the help... I think I've done most of these things already, but
still no dice.
At the moment, I have ports 9000 and 9001 open, with DirPort 9001 and ORPort
9000 in my torrc file.
I had to change my /etc/init.d/tor to change
DEFAULTSFILE=/etc/default/$NAME
to
DEAULTSFILE-~/.vidalia/torrc

since, lacking root privileges, vidalia could not write to the default
torrc.

The message log reports that tor successfully guesses my IP address (the IP
address that my router has) so dynamic IP doesn't seem to be the issue.
I don't have a software firewall.
Unfortunately, the 2701HG-B does not support upnp. :(

The message log reports that my DNS provider hijacks DNS failures.  I don't
think this should be the issue preventing my tor relay from working, but
maybe?

Also,

<:You have to configure portforwarding for your Tor relay too:>

A previous reply also said this.  I created a custom application for tor
that directs ports 9000 and 9001 to my tor relay host.
I believe this is what you mean, and that I have already done this.  There
isn't another meaning to this, is there? (I have verified that this method
does, in fact, forward the ports using a different, MSWin machine).

After connecting (as a client) to the Tor network, I get multiple notices of
"Have tried resolving or connecting to address '[scrubbed]' at 3 different
places.  Giving up."
Is this related?

My router is in "stealth mode" (not returning port scan requests) but the PF
port checker tests successfully just the same, so I don't think this is the
issue. (?)

Sorry this is (or I am) stubborn.
