Almost understand port forwarding, but there's one issue

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,

I used this article to find out how to port forward on my Mikrotik Router:

The instructions in this article don’t work completely, I had to set the interface to all Ethernet rather than wan because I couldn’t find that option, this may be why it is not working. ANyway I did exactly what the article suggested, at least I think I did. Here’s a screenshot of the current settings. I am using port 2500 rather than the one they are suggesting and the IP is from an ipconfig command in Windows CMD.

To check, I tried this tool for checking the port status. It reports it is closed so I am guessing I made a mistake somewhere:

I’d really like to understand this process so if someone would be willing to see what is wrong, that would be great :slight_smile:

I would advise to to avoid external cookbooks for MikroTik because they are often not maintained and often
are incorrect and incomplete.

It is better to go by the MikroTik Wiki http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Firewall/NAT
