I've spent the last 8 hours trying to get this to work. I've set up DHCP reservations for both computers ive tried on and i am not forwarding the port to the wrong internal ip. I've tried a multitude of ports but they're all close according to "portforward.com"'s port checker. I've tried forwarding and testing of 2 computers and neither worked once. I've probably tried doing this in the past about 5 times or so but ive never been able to forward a single port on this router. I was able to forward fine on my old one though. I'm thinking of just giving up on this router and get a new one, however maybe i have overlooked something. Could anyone help me?

- What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
- Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
- What region are you located?
Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
- What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
- What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
- Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall. Enable or Disable SPI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPI) to test.
- Enable uPnP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upnp) and Multi-cast Streaming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast) under Advanced/Networking. Disable uPnP for testing Port Forwarding (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=4235.0) rules.

Any status on this?

I have the DIR-657 which to my understanding is basically the same as the DIR-655 in everything but looks. I ran into the same issues when trying to use port forwarding and found that I had to set up everything to do with port forwarding under Virtual Server.

Thank you for posting this information. We hope it helps future users.

I had always been able to Port Forward with the DIR-655. I forwarded one TCP and two UDP ports for a specific amateur radio software which it wouldn't work without the Port Forwarding being done. I reserved an IP on the router for my laptop computer and Port Forwarded to it. Wish that I could explain beyond that.

Also when using PF rules, uPnP should be disabled as well.
