You're facing a common issue when setting up port forwarding. It sounds like your router is expecting more details than what you've provided. Double-check that you're using the correct local IP address for your server and confirming the exact port range (7777-7778) you want to forward. Also, clarify whether you're using a private or public IP—public IPs are typically required for port forwarding. Review your router's settings or consult the official documentation for guidance on the right configuration.

Here’s a concise summary of each field you’ll need:

- **Custom Service Name**: A memorable name for your forwarding setup, easy to recall later.
- **Service**: The pre-set list of ports and protocols ready for port forwarding (e.g., HTTP uses port 80 over TCP).
- **Protocol**: Guidance on how to identify the correct protocol—check server docs or test with TCP/UDP if needed.
- **External Host**: A whitelist defining which IP addresses can access your server’s ports.
- **Internal Host**: The private IP address of the machine hosting the server (find via command prompt).
- **Internal Port**: The specific port your server uses (e.g., 25565 for Minecraft).
- **External Port**: The port you’ll expose to the internet, typically matching the internal port.
- **General Rule**: Keep internal and external ports aligned unless you’re managing multiple servers or changing defaults.

These guidelines specify which external host and port values you can use. If leaving them blank isn't permitted, set them to 0.0.0.0 for the external host and align the external port with the same range you're using internally.

I can omit the external host but not the internal one. I managed to locate the manual online recently at https://d15yx0mnc9teae.cloudfront.net/si...es/RAC2V1S Sagemcom Wave 2.pdf

The internal host refers to the IP address of the server you wish to forward ports to. The IP of "The Isle" server within your local network.

Remember, the server needs to be active for the port forwarding tests to function
