Question : Problem: VNC Port forwarding for Verizon Fios Westell 9100 EM

I have been using ultravnc for a long time now and have never had issues setting up port forwarding for any of my routers.  (Linksys, Netgear, DLink).   I just switched from TW to Fios and they installed a Westell 9100 EM router.  I setup the Port Forwarding but it still won't pass the connection through.  If I put the computer on the DMZ it works.  This tells me I have the right wan port and the computer is accepting the connections, I just don't have something configured properly.

Below is a copy of the port forwarding.

Local Host      Local Address    Network Address      Public IP Address   Protocols

localhost       127.0.0.1           Any                  Any             TCP Any -> 4567
192.168.1.100   192.168.1.100    Verizon FIOS Service     Any            0000007231485188 - UDP Any -> 63146
"Computername"  "ComputerName"           Any                 Any            VNC - TCP 5800 -> 5800
                                                                         TCP 5900 -> 5900
                                                                         UDP 5800 -> 5800
                                                                         UDP 5900 -> 5900 Active

Answer : Problem: VNC Port forwarding for Verizon Fios Westell 9100 EM

I figured it out last night.  Not sure why it works, but it works.
If you look at the screen shot above where it says TCP 5800-> 5800 and 5900 -> 5900
It should read TCP ANY -> 5800 and  ANY-> 5900.

I had always thought and done with all the previous routers you had to specifiy the port on both sides.
