Hi Amiesuki,

You need to put your computer in which you are hosting in the DMZ Zone.

I always tend to go for forwarding whatever ports the game needs instead of opening all ports which DMZ does.

Take a look at Port Forward (http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DIR-655/DIR-655index.htm) and what ports you need to forward are probably listed for the game.

You, should simply be able to forward the ports to the PC hosting the  game. Also disable the SPI in the firewall settings.
