Port Translation

[Jon_AK]

With a CP1575 appliance, is there a way to create a rule to work with port forwarding to ensure the appliance does not translate the intended port to a different port?  As indicated in a previous post, I have a server object created to forward HTTP traffic on port 80 and 443 to a IIS web server.  The appliance is forwarding as designed but it is translating port 80 into a different, random port number.  Unfortunately, according to Microsoft, if the IIS website is bound to port 80, it will listen only to port 80 traffic.  As a result, our website is not responding to the incoming port 80 traffic.  I went as far as reverting back to an earlier firmware version where this was working fine but, that did not cure the ill.  I read some CP documentation for a 1500 series but the settings being described do not match & am not able to find in the UI where to address having the appliance not translate the port into a different port.

I recall that someone else posted about this same problem.
Believe it's a bug and the TAC should be consulted: https://help.checkpoint.com

Yes, am waiting on a response from tech support to this very question.  Based upon an almost 90 minute troubleshooting procedure, it is believed it is a bug.  Since I do not know much about the CLI yet, thought there might be an end around to mitigate this.
