There's an emulator on DLink's site for their routers. It seems pretty easy to set up port forwarding.

I have the Netgear WGR614 and port forwarding is just as easy. Have you tried updating the firmware on your router?

Go to http://192.168.0.1/


Then on the left, click Configuration.

Then click 'Port Redirection'


If you're serving websites, you need to forward port 80, and if you're running an FTP server, then it's port 21 that you need to forward.

its really easy if you buy any router, it will come with detailed instructions on how to do port forwarding. I suggest in the mean time do a google search and read up on port forwarding and just basic network security.

Actually to tell you the truth, my Dlink 604 router came with absolutely no instructions other than how to set it up to obtain an IP address and how to get it online and to set up passwords. To get to the port forwarding on mine, you have to go to advanced and then click on virtual server and enter your information that way. Dlink has instructions on their website how to do these things since my router came with nothing about it. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy the router because of this, but it is just something that you shuold think about.

wow thats crazy , if im buying something it better come with everything i need to know, thats just unacceptable in my book.

There's usually a pdf manual on the cd that comes with the router. Also, the firmware usually has help tips as you go.

i've got the same router, it works well but D-Link's firmware is horribly bad. You should be able to figure it out though, D-Link calls port forwarding "virtual servers".
