So I am confused, based on my orginal question, what the answer is now.
Also can someone explain the difference between when I forward one of the
default 8 ports and when I want to forward another type that is not one of
the 8 default.
Any help appreciated.
kind regards.

Subject: RE: IP forward protocol
There seems to be a lot of confusion on this subject still. 'IP forward
protocol' by itself doesn't do anything. It only modifies the behavior of
IP helper addresses used on interfaces. Configuring an IP helper address on
an interface without any ip forward protocol commands will change the
packets destination address to that configured on the helper address
statement if (1) the original destination address was 255.255.255.255 and
(2) the destination protocol was one of the 7 (I think) that are forwarded
by default. Changing those 7 (using 'ip forward-protocol' and 'no ip
forward-protocol' statements) will change that behavior for all interfaces
using a helper address statement. It would block netbios shares if
broadcasts are the only method of name resolution. Not very effective,
versus using access lists.

Does that mean I can turn off netbios shares using?
no ip forward-protocol netbios-dgm
no ip forward-protocol netbios-ns
no ip forward-protocol netbios-ss
I know someone who has been doing this with an access-list for years.

Hello,
The scenario which you are asking for needs "ip forward-protocol udp
tftp"
on all the routers.
the helper command can be used if you want all of the default UDP prots
to
be forwarded.
