IPTables port forwarding issues

Hi all,

Sorry i know this is covered on the net in various places, but i cannot seem to get what seems straight forward stuff working, by trying various different solutions. Below is a unfinished firewall script that is currently used in a test setup. I cannot however get port 9023 to port forward from the firewall to an internal boxes ip address. When I used nmap it returns filtered? Any suggestions on what im missing here? In the test setup this box is providing natted internet access.

I have marked the latest attempted lines i have been attempting to use with !!! in the comment line. Please help this is driving me insane :(

Thanks in advance

(Trying to forward port 9023 from interface eth6, to an ip attached to interface eth5). Ethername conventions below MAIN and WAN.
