You're dealing with a Linksys EA8300 and trying to configure port forwarding for a dedicated Windows server. Since you're used to command-line setups on switches or routers, here are some tips:

- Confirm the correct server IP address is being used in your router settings.
- Ensure the firewall rules on both your server and the router allow traffic on those ports.
- If you're unsure about the exact port numbers, check the server documentation or use a tool like `netstat` to see which ports are open.
- Consider using a web interface if available for easier configuration.
- If needed, contact Linksys support for specific guidance with your model.

firewall prevents traffic from reaching the hosting service on Windows, not the router.

Incorrect local IP address detected; consider utilizing a port range instead.

I thought about using the port range, but there’s no way to specify something like 8766-27015 to 27016. Unless I create two separate ranges, it might lead to conflicts.

because it doesn't behave that way, the rule is minimum port less than maximum port. If you set 21000 to 22000, all ports from 21000 to 22000 should be open.

It should function if you forwarded it; just run the host tool with admin privileges or modify the configuration file.
