I attached the patch and you actually quoted it in your reply.

the irc extension to the conntracking only listens to port 6667 by
default and can only be changed by either changeing the source or having
it as a module and using the ports= parameter.

If you did set the ip to 172.16.0.5 _and_ connected to port 6667 and it
still didn't work then my next question would be if you have the
neccessary rules to allow RELATED connections from outside into your
network? ie. iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -m state --state
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat
