If 'everything' is blocked, apparently a rule is missing to let a specific port go thru.

Certainly! My homerouter allows me to see the attached devices, and even, as Dafidfor stated earlier in the tread, to link an internal IP-adress to a specific device, or better, to link a specific device to the same IP-adress every time it is connected, so that, if you specified some rules for that adress, they apply everytime.
