"not working" is not a useful problem description. It does not say
what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.
Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve? What,
exactly, were you hoping would happen when you did whatever you did?

If you don't know which port(s) you want forwarded to where, then
it's not really amazing (to me) that, seemimgly, "port forwarding isn't
working".

You first? What, exactly, are you trying to achieve?

Probably not the best advice.

Out of interest, can you tell us what you did to fix it? You have marked this question as Solved. So it will show up in searches when people turn up with the same issue. It would be great of you could share the solution with them.
