Noob attempting to Port Forward Raspberry Pi

I'm attempting to forward ports 80 & 7090 to my Raspberr Pi per the instructions in the user manual, but I'm new to port forwarding and it's not letting me send it to the same IP address. Can anyone ...

       Is that accurate?  Firmware version?

       Which "the user manual"?

       "it's not letting me" 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.  Copy+paste is your friend.

     

       What, exactly, did you specify for each port-forwarding rule?


       Port 80 is the default for a web browser ("http://").  What uses port
    7090?

       Perhaps, if you could shed some light on what, exactly, you're doing.
    And why.

       I wouldn't expect any particular problem with forwarding two
    different ports to any particular IP address.

       Which "The instruction manual"?
