Okay, going off of what samsdhi posted, which i would listen to, here's the full poop on what to do with a d-link router (i work in computer administration, and that's mostly what we use on small networks). *if i repeat anything anyone else has said, please forgive me*
First, you need to find out what your internal ip is. Goto your command prompt, (go to start -> run -> type in cmd, and press enter).
Next, type in 'ipconfig'. There should some stuff that comes up, should look something like this:
Etherenet adapter *local area network*:
Connection-Specific DNS suffix . : *your isp DNS*
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.XXX
Subnet Mask. . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway. . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
K, pay attention to nothing other than the IP address. and remember what those last digits are (if there are more than one). Write them down, or something.
Goto a browser (Internet explorer), type in 192.168.0.1 (and enter). There should be a login screen that comes up. Type in Admin for the username and nothing for the password unless you've changed those two.
You should see about 5 or so tabs, and the second one from the left should be advanced. Click on that one, and as soon as it comes up, look to the left of it, there should be some blue buttons. One should be 'DMZ'. Click on that, and you should see:
0 Enable 0 Disable
192.168.0 (and a space for your number)
Add those digits you got from the 'ipconfig' ip address program, and click enable. Then hit the green apply button. It'll go to another screen that says 'the device is rebooting' and viola, you should have all your ports opened onto the DMZ.
If that doesn't help you, let me know please, or if anyone finds any inconsistancies with this, please correct me.
