So?

Any word from D-Link on what "roughly equivalent" to Full Cone allows?
I find it difficult to believe that this is such a hard answer to dig up. I have only been assured that it "should" allow "most" unsolicited connection requests, but nothing definitive. Perhaps someone can suggest one knowledgable D-Link Agent that could cut through the confusion at the Tech Support Offices.

I have found success in advertising the server on the Master Server Browser for all clients to see me,
AND am apparently getting solid connections from clients that join my server through Master Server Browser.
My main feedback tester had install issues on his PC that clouded the diagnostics, and after his reinstall his finding me/connecting was unhampered so far as we can tell.

The NAT test still pops up an error warning, under port forwarding, DMZ, Virtual Server, OR Triggered Ports mode. It is starting to look as though the test is flawed... and encouraging home servers to jump ship to paying for a server rental.
The only loose end still remains, to determine exactly what connections " Endpoint Independant" WON'T allow.

By the way...Reinvented,
Turns out  I was right. Ports 6500,7777,and 13000 ONLY for hosting a server.
So it appears your source for UT3 ports needs a little reality check. They may want to contact Epic's official forums to make their data even remotely relevant. Server Setup--> http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=586810

Thought I should follow up with the conclusion to this issue that I presented, as I have had some new results with the DGL-4500 passing the UT3 NAT test.
I now pass the NAT test consistently

I kept port forwarding on ports 6500,7777,8767,9989 & 13000 (UDP & TCP).
Turned off SPI, and enabled Endpoint Independent Filtering on both UDP & TCP.
Just like every other time it used to warn me that my router wasn't configured properly,EXCEPT....

I have since only changed one thing relating to my server files that regulate the networking engine.
I simply added a redirect configuration section to enable compressed map redirection. Since then, my router's NAT is reported as moderate and passes the NAT test.

I'm still double checking the server configs to rule out any other unexpected server settings changes that may have caused this, but I have altered nothing else on the server OR router since I last posted.

Online for the first time without the NAT error message:
