Minecraft Server and Port Forwarding Fail

Hi all,

I've set up a VM for Minecraft and it appears to be running correctly (from the cli - I don't play). The correct port, however, isn't open.

I have a Verizon FIOS router and behind that I have an OpenWRT router and then the ProxMox machine. The FIOS router holds my public IP. The VM for the minecraft server is 192.168.40.129 and the router is 192.168.40.1. So, let's pretend my public IP is A.B.C.D. On the FIOS router I have forwarded 25565 UDP/TCP to the OpenWRT router (which the FIOS router sees on a 192.168.0.154 basis). On the OpenWRT router I have forwarded 25565 UDP/TCP to 192.168.40.129.

On the VM, the machine is listening on 25565 and ufw has 25565 set to ALLOW from Anywhere.
iptables -nL shows:
Chain ufw-user-input (1 references)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:25565
ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:25565
ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:22


So a request to A.B.C.D:25565 should be passed to the OpenWRT router and passed to .129. CanYouSeeMe.org and other 'tester' sites show me that 25565 is closed.

Any suggestions on what to look at next? I have ports forwarded this way for my locally hosted PBX system (SIP, IAX, etc.) and these work like a charm configured exactly as above.

It has to be a firewall issue, but I'm too tired to see what it is.
