NAT/Port forwarding
I'm trying to open up some ports for a specific PC on my LAN to the outside world. I can connect to the specific ports when I am on the LAN. I cannot connect to the same ports if I am external. Windows Defender FW rules look setup correctly. I believe I have the BGW320-500 router setup correctly. I just can't connext from external.

Here's a screenshot of how I have it configured so far. The device is set for the PC running the service. What am I missing? Thanks!

Hey @YellowPostIt, we understand you would like to set up port forwarding, we’re glad to help & walk you through the right path.
You need to either access it from outside your LAN or use a router that supports hair pinning. Port forwarding only works from outside the LAN.
Here are some steps that you can follow to help with getting your BGW320 port forwarded properly.
To open a port for user-defined applications:
It is recommended to create a separate service entry for each port as opposed to using a port range. In this case the port number should be the same in the Global Port Range fields.
If you are wondering how to set up Port Forwarding, our port forwarding support page will guide you through the steps for your specific modem. Just pick your modem and follow the instructions.
Let us know how these steps work for you!
Thank you for reaching out on AT&T Community & Forums!

@YellowPostIt steps 7 and 8 above have not obviously been done from your screenshot.

I did. The name of the service and the PC name have been redacted in the screenshot, but they are listed in UI.

Gotcha... missed the node names and thought that was just the service display; my fault.
