Port forwarding in Cisco Router RV042

Login to the router from a web interface, if its the default ip(192.168.1.1) prompt for a username and password(default is admin/admin). Once logged in go to Setup, click on forwarding, there you can see the options to add a new service. The service we are adding is RDP for windows XP/7. 

 Once you click on the service, give a name "RDP" and the TCP port for the rdp in windows is 3389, provide as shown and then add to the list.
 Find the recently added RDP service then put the ip address where you want to forward the port to then add to list and enable it. Once its done save the settings. Once saved you can RDP  to 192.168.10.10 through the router RV042.
