Lol yeah the router has an arrangement where it numbers each rule, like the old days of line numbering in BASIC code (10, 20 etc). I tried the rule at the top and bottom, checked for anything in between with a "don't check past here" tag or something, nothing worked. The limited info I could find stated that rules were processed top to bottom and the first rule to match the packet was processed. So I put it first and it was still being ignored... I've never had that much trouble setting up port forwarding before! Either way, it sounds like the NB5 has done the job... regardless of whether they are a good or a bad thing, they are definitely easier to work with (and have a much more usable port forwarding setup) than the original one
