The bug is about ACTIVE-MODE with FIREWALL aka "ACTIVE-MODE (I have
configured my router)".

DC++ cannot under this mode use "any ports" because it relies on DC++
connecting to the ones the user has manually forwarded.

Title:
  Active peers not connecting to opened ports

Status in DC++:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When users in active-mode tries to connect to me my firewall reports
  that they're trying to gain access on ports that ive not opened,
  normally also being ports that they themselves have forwarded in their
  routers, this problem does however not exist with passive mode where
  users can connect to me without issues.

  Reproduce:
  * Run an firewall.
  * Create an firewall rule that grants DC++ exactly the only thing it should require: 3 ports for the transfers and 1 for the hub.
  * Stare at the connection logs and see active users gets shot down left and right, while passive users gets in without a hitch.

  Conclusion:
  Passive got it right while Active doesn't give a shiet about my forwarded ports.

  Whatever magic code you're using for the passive mode, please merge it
  with active mode.

  Thank you.
