Take a look at this.

http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1998&question=DGL-4100%20/%20DGL-4300%20/%20DGL-4500

but before you do, Lycan brings up a good point. You should set a DHCP reservation rule for you Wii. This will ensure that your DGL-4500 is providing the same internal IP address every time you turn on your Wii.

;et me know if you need further information.

A better point is why are you manually port forwarding for a UPnP enabled devce?

yes, here's an FAQ on gamefuel (QoS).

This should help

Why are you forwarding ports to your Wii? UPnP should handle that no problem, forwarding ports to a given IP address does not ensure that the Wii will pull that same address on next boot.
Are you having a specific error?

It will if he's using a static IP or DHCP reservation though. I use DHCP reservation and all my devices always pull the exact same IP everytime.

I think you missed his point.  The Wii us a UPNP device you should not need to forward ports, only enable UPNP.  if you want to run the QOS then do that.
