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

Alright, I set up a dyndns account that I can successfully ping my Tor relay
through the dyndns address, but I still get
"Have tried resolving or connecting to address '[scrubbed]' at 3 different
places.  Giving up."
and
"Your server has not managed to confirm that its [ORPort/DirPort] is
reachable..."

Double-checked my iptables, and all behavior is set to accept.

My router is set up to forward port 9000 from my dynamic IP to port 9000 on
my Tor relay, likewise for port 9001.

Any other ideas?
Is this something my ISP is doing?  Or does that fact that I can see the Tor
network mean that it's something on my end?

Thanks.
