<div>
I assume you want to allow incoming connection to a static ip address, correct?<br />
GUI instructions are difficult to type and i think it's actually easier to do this with the CLI:<br />
<br />
access-list inbound permit tcp any host &lt;outside static ip&gt; eq 3389 <br />
static (inside,outside) tcp &lt;outside static ip&gt; 3389 &lt;inside static ip&gt; 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0<br />
access-group inbound in interface outside<br />
wr mem<br />
<br />
hope that helps!<br />

So permissions are allowed via access lists? &nbsp;By default is port 80 traffic allowed or is a NAT rule need to be setup?

So can you briefly tell me the difference between NAT and PAT? &nbsp;Can Access lists not be used if you used dynamic or static rules with NAT/PAT?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
