Can't forward a telnet port of a device

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello guys !
I want to forward a telnet port of a device on a specific port but i am having some issues
I tried to forward a telnet port on my MikroTik but it doesn’t work, i don’t what i did wrong
chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=192.168.x.x to-ports=23
protocol=tcp dst-address=My-Wan-Ip dst-port=xxxx log=no log-prefix=“”

i also tried to accept all forwarding from the dst-port xxxx but still doesn’t work.
What am I missing here?
Any help and advice would be appriciated.

You dont have to accept all forwards from/to the dst-port.
Better way is to enable all forwards with connection nat state dstnat - add new rule with following parameters: chain=forward, connection state=new, connection nat state=dstnat, action=accept
Also make sure you have enabled forward rule for established/related packets.

sorry I forgot to mention the IP I want to forward telnet port it’s on a VLAN
