Question gnucleus behind firewall

Here's my network layout:

Internet <-- > Linux Box <--> Windows Box

The linux box is doing NAT for the internal network. The windows box is running gnucleus.

Here is my question:

How do people on the internet connect to my gnucleus (to download my files) with this sort of setup?

Presumably, my external IP gets put in a GWebCache somewhere, then someone polls my external IP at port 6347 (or whatever gnucleus runs on). However, my linux box will reject the connection because it isn't running a daemon on the proper port. Thus, no-one will be able to connect to my gnucleus.

Is this right? What am I missing? I want to be sure that people can access my files.

Kurt
