You could also put the IP address of your server in the DMZ section of your router, would would just dump all incoming port requests to your server IP and allow it to respond to anything. This would fix your issue, but would open up your server to attack on the internet. The port forwarding is a function of the firewall in the Linksys, which guards your server from attack on random ports, and hopefully your server has been patched and locked down to the best it can be on the other ports that you are making public.

You do not need to setup advanced routing, but you do need to set up port forwarding. RDP is over port 3389, so you would set up port forwarding for 3389 and put your internal IP address of the server in that section. Do the same for the other services, I.E. SMTP at port 25, HTTP at port 80, etc.
