Okay, see <http://www.ncftp.com/ncftpd/doc/misc/ftp_and_firewalls.html>, 
in particular "Why PORT Poses Problems for Routing Devices" and 
"Problems when the FTP Server is Listening on a Non-Standard Port 
Number". Now imagine your netgear thinks it's dealing with FTP and is 
doing that to your ssh sessions.
