I am pretty sure this a problem with FWD. If you read their forums on 
IAX, the moderators repeatedly state that IAX support is experimental 
and not well supported.

I have exactly the same issue as you do...

Nope - I haven't had to change the firewall on my router and I 
successfully have an IAX-IAX trunk running between my Asterisk server 
and my business partners. I think it's an FWD problem.
