Hey, thanks, I got it working. The problem had nothing to do with my firewall settings. I had transposed a couple of digits in the gateway IP. After that, it worked. All the ports did forward to my target LAN address, no problem. I did not have to specify each desired port for this to work. After testing this, I did specify the ports I wanted: SMTP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, and it worked fine. What was nice it that port I did not specify were, in fact, blocked. With the Cisco RVS4000, I had to specify an additional rule as last priority denying access on ANY port. Otherwise, non-specified ports got through anyway. The Netgear behavior is much more desirable.
Thanks again:):)
