This is refered to as a "complex protocol" because of the random "subsequent
connections". The ports 6881-6899 are simply secondary connections that are
based off of the first intitial connection with 6969 and are part of the
same protocol session. I don't think ICS will do this. Even more advanced
NAT systems don't do this well.

GRC is not dependable, but even if it was, this would show not anything
because nothing is going to be listening on those ports. Those are only
secondary connection ports and are not primary listening ports where the
cnnection is first initiated from.
