Ahh, and a warning about that. Make sure after you get the port fowarding working 
that the router is not wide open. Meaning every port open. Zyxel and Netgear are 
very similiar in design (software) and both of them have this problem. This only 
occurs when it is in the routing mode

If you can hold your horses I may can tell you in Plain Eng later on. At
the moment I am not directly in front of one and the ones I have access
to can not be accessed over the WAN. This would be later EST Time
Tonight. 

It gives you a choice of what ports you want the service to use. You
simply have to enter the numbers into the empty boxes (choose Custom
Service).  IE; you will have to make a Custom Service.

Looking at your port choice from a Social Engineering Stand Point your
defeating the purpose of port masking. Choosing port 22022 tells me that
you have ssh running on a server.  Non the less you can also do what
Steve said.
