RV 340 PORT FORWARDING DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING?

[CanFlyGuy]

I'm trying to set up port forwarding and I understand partially the idea behind setting up a rule under "Service Manager" and then going to Firewall and under "Port Forwarding" to then enabling the rule to a specific IP address. These ports are like 60001 to 60001 and 5989 to 5989, but I'm not sure if you're supposed to pick the same rule for both external and internal or if you're supposed to pick the rule on external and then pick "All Traffic" for the internal, but either doesn't seem to do anything for me unless there's some other entry that I have to make elsewhere like in the Access rules or something?  Programming this router is not like other routers I've worked with, even in the lower RV series. What am I missing? As an example 60001 TCP outside from the WAN is supposed to reach 60001 inside on a specific machine, eg. 192.168.1.80.

---Continuing from from previous post...

lan-pc1(192.168.1.x)------[RV340-GW1]wan1(100.100.100.12)-------[isp-router]---{Internet}-------(200.200.200.2)[wan-PC2]

For Example-2 of Port-forwarding for RDP connections from wan-PC2 to lan-pc1 in this sample deployment..

Note: The user should know that there is NO RDP SERVICE USING TCP/UDP PORT 3390...

The RDP uses a combination of TCP & UDP port 3389...the control-channel/session uses tcp-3389 and data-forwarding is done on udp-3389

Step-1: Create a service record (in System-Mgmnt/Services page) for RDP-1 with protocol tcp&udp AND start-port:3389/end-port:3389

Step-2: Configure the port-forward rule as below:

External-Service: RDP-1

Internal-Service: RDP-1

Internal-ipaddr: 192.168.1.x

Interface: wan1

Step-3: On wan-PC2, start a windows RDP session to 100.100.100.12:3389 ...

- and this will result in port-forwarding on RV340 to lan-pc1

- ensure that the RDP-service is enabled/configured on lan-pc1

- and ensure that the default-gw ip is configured as 192.168.1.1(the RV340-lan-ipaddr) on lan-pc1...to reply back to the traffic recieved from wan-pc2...

thats all there is to it...there is NO further firewall rules to be added explicitly/manually...

Sorry people...i did not know..the screenshots attached are GIF files...you will need to download and then view it....i will try to change them to PNG files if possible...and reattach

Followup:

----------

Iam reattaching the PNG-screenshots for the step1 and step-2 for any general port-forwarding configuration on RV340...and the deployment could be as simple as below:

lan-pc1(192.168.1.x)------[RV340-GW1]wan1(100.100.100.12)-------[isp-router]---{Internet}-------(200.200.200.2)[wan-PC2]
