I don't know much about this area, but could it be as simple as the fact
that rule 4 has "Destinaton Port" instead of "Destination Port"? That was
the only misspelling I noticed, when I copied the rules into Word to see if
the rules could be simplified in any way - I couldn't see any easy way to do
that.
