The AE will port forward, it is just a little tricky. You need to set your machine to a fixed IP first. You can do this with DHCP reservations. Then forward the port to that specific IP. It will work.

I have found that even if you are only forwarding a TCP flow/port you also need to put the port number in for UDP as well, and vice-versa.
