The Subject line says it all.
I'm on FW 1.15 (1.02 did the same), Vista UltimateX64,DHCP ISP, (Wireless off,SPI off,Games ports forwarded,Gamefuel rule for game hosting)

This router simply does NOTHING when settings are saved IF IT WILL LET ME SAVE THE AT ALL.
DMZ doesn't work
Virtual Server doesn't work
Application rules doesn't work
It contantly locks me out of saving settings.

Any chance this Vista router might be ready to do router things in time for Windows 7 ?

There are many threads here with this problem, where if Wireless is disabled saving settings becomes impossible.  I suggest you do what one user suggested where he put his wireless on a schedule where it just turns on for one minute every day or something like that.  That way, you can save your settings.

[JunGLe]

Great ! Wireless is set to 1 minute on Sunday 12:00-12:01
settings save now...
AND do nothing.

No DMZ.
No Gaming Forwarding
No Virtual server
No Application Rules

When using the above rules, I use only one at a time to avoid rule conflicts.

http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/    shows all ports requested to be opened as CLOSED under all the above scenarios. JUST LIKE THE DIR-655 I have here for decoration.


EDIT:

Remote Assistance attempt today confirmed that NO PORTS OPEN under the above rules.

You need to reset your router back to factory defaults first...

[JunGLe]

Did that the first time, did it again after reading your post.

No ports will open. Same as the DIR-655

Internet Sessions

Hold down the reset button in the back for 90 seconds.  After the first 30, remove power from the back while still holding down the reset button.  After another 30, plug it back in.  At the end of 90 seconds total, release.

Log into the router, and reflash with firmware.  Do NOT backup from ANY configuration file.  Do everything over from scratch.

Set up Port Forwarding under "Gaming Rules" only.

Set Firewall restrictions to Endpoint Independent Only for both TCP and UDP.

After following your procedure I have zero function as usual.
All the game needs apparently is non randomized ports and Full Cone ( anyone can connect unsolicited )
 
http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ says the same while game is on or off.

[anon]

Who is your ISP?

[JunGLe]

I use Rogers Cable.... High Speed, 10 down 1 up. DHCP

[Reinvented]

Do you keep turning off the wireless?

Also, that link you posted shows ALL of my ports as closed as well...

I'm still able to host stuff though.  The tool is flawed...so, don't use that to test your ports.

[anon]

Have you tried using the internet connection setup wizard? Do you still see those ports closed when you direct connect to the modem?

[JunGLe]

Yes...Ive tried the Connection Wizard, It just sets the same things as I do for the most part.
UT3 has no issues with direct connection to the Motorola Surfboard 5100 modem.

[JunGLe]

This is getting insane.
Over 50 calls logged to D-Link, AND NOT ONE AGENT knows what Full Cone is, nor One-To-One NAT !
Needless to say, they can't determine of this router allows TRUE One-to-One ( full cone ) if they don't know what it is.
Roughly equivalent to full cone isn't an answer as to what behaviour this NAT filter displays.

I need true One-To-One NAT that ALLOWS UNSOLICITED connections for many (up to 16) clients out in the wild that want to connect to my server on a specific port..WHENEVER they feel like it, without being contacted by the router first. The server also requires NON randomized internal ports...from what I can tell in Active Sessions log, its NOT randomizing internal ports at least.

Does D-Link employ ANYONE that actually is familiar with basic NAT networking terminology and possibly even this router?
50 calls over 20, hours of " can you give me an example of FullCone/One-to-One?"
Please help ....i'd like to use my server sometime this year.

User error.  I have no problems with hosting.  Anyone CAN connect to me. 

Are you able to host your stuff when you are directly connected to the modem?

What exactly are you trying to host?

And have you ever thought for one moment that it could be your ISP that isn't allowing people to connect to you?  Or hosting for that matter?

[Lycan]

The Cone of the NAT can be adjusted by changing the NAT Endpoint Filter. Have you tried changing these settings?
