    The mac address is my Sony Bravia TV.  I've turned that wireless off and now it is forwarding - but mcafee firewall is blocking.  i will fix that - thanks for your help.

I see two things that are likely unrelated:

  1. The incorrect security log indicates that you have a device that does not have the correct Wi-Fi password.  Do you recognize the MAC address?
  2. The LAN access from remote seems to show that port forwarding to port 3389 is working.
