You're right. its not in your lan.
In your one photo, you're setting your port forwarding settings for 192.168.51.1
But the next photo is showing your router's lan range is in the .0 range (192.168.0.***)

how do I fix this ? not my forte . thanks for your help.

tough to tell you have to fix it because its usually a bit specific to your device.
You should be port forwarding to devices in the same subnet. So if you're router is on the 192.168.0.1 lan address, the devices should be 192.168.0.*** where the *** is the device specific ip address. You'd need to be using that address to forward to the device
