        Don't specify source ports only destination ports. that should remove some problems..

          For the firewall rules you most likely do not want to set a source IP or port.

          The destination of the firewall rule should be the target of the port forward, not "lan net".

          Go over the following docs carefully:

          http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_forward_ports_with_pfSense%3F
          http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Port_Forward_Troubleshooting
