FVS338 port forwarding with incoming port different than port used by application
Is it possible to have a different incoming port than the application, and have the router resolve it? Here is my current setup, we have 2 different servers, both are listening on the port 3389 f...
Hi Evilegg,
If that is the case then you'll have to use the "Translate to Port Number" option. After selecting the service name (for port 3390), select the Action, Add the LAN IP of the service and click on the tick box for Translate to Port Number (enter 3389) and the Apply the settings. See image below for reference:
Thanks,
JohnRo, your example is a normal port foward. I was trying to avoid changing the port on the server, since that usually requires a reboot, and i can only do that on the weekends.
If i can't figure out how to have the router translate from 3390 to 3389 i will end up going your suggested route and switch the rds listening port.

That worked, strangely that is the same thing i did the first time around.
I just went thru all the settings again. And this time it worked.
Just in case anyone else has the same problem.
Service - both incoming and outgoing port are 3390
Incomeing Schedule - setup like regular port forward, but translate the port to whatever port your software is using.
Thank you!
