Opening range of ports

All:
I am working with a set of servers, both running SBS2003, and I need to open
a range of ports for Backup Exec's Remote Agent; they suggest at least 50
ports for effective data transfer. Both servers have 2 NICs, one each on the
192.168 netowrk, the other on an external network. Both 192.168 NICs are
setup as private interface connected to private network, while the other NICs
are using NAT. The server facing the world has a number of ports open on the
NAT interface, including most of the WKPs. The internal server is limited to
only RWW and RDP. This has been effective in keeping the internal server
secure.
The problem is that I need to somehow open a range of ports to accomodate
Backup Exec, and Symantec only knows how to exclude the app, which would
require that I eliminate NAT--not something I am willing to do, obviously. As
a result, I want to exclude a range of ports that BUE can use to transfer
data from the remote agent, but defining 100 ports individually would be time
intensive.
Anyone know of a way I can define a range of ports on either the 192.168 or
external network without eliminating NAT? Ideally, I would like to use the
192.168 interface for this task, since it is secured and the servers already
talk to each other over it. If you know of a better option, do clue me in.
Any assistance you can offer would be much appreciated.
TIA...
