Hi n33
Ive just looked through the manual for this and I think it's one of the most poorly explained manuals Ive ever read!
You've gone through SPecial applications
I think it means that the trigger port is what your game would attempt to attach to on the internet to play a particular game. The Public port would be the ports your pc should be listening on.
In the Public port put 8767 UDP. In the trigger field place the port number of the remote pc. If I read the manual correctly, I can see this will be difficult as your server is acting as a pure incoming server without triggering. I can't see how to set up a simple port forward using this screen as it seems to require a trigger before the router knows where to forward traffic from the internet to your pc.
The Special Applications options would be useful where you had several people on a LAN who would play at different times, whoever logged in to the game first would get the traffic from the router. I think the router would be intelligent enough to forward traffic to whoever got to trigger the outgoing port first.
If there's a simple port forwarding function in your router admin then use that, the special applications function is not the way to go in this case.

Dear lord, you have a D-Link too. Even the same brand. My condolences.

Two pieces of advice: Use "Virtual Server" for port forwardings. Applications is for applications that require more ports when they run, for example Netmeeting that needs the whole 1024-65535 UDP range forwarded.

If that still doesn't work, sell the DI-604 on eBay and get a SMC Barricade 7004 VBR.
D-Link has serious unresolved issues with their firmware and the connection handling. When I'm at my humble student abode here and try to open all 60 webcomics I read every day at once most of them fail loading, time out with DNS resolve errors or only load partial content.
At home where my brother operates a SMC Barricade 7004 VBR there are no timeouts, no DNS resolve errors and no partial content. It just takes a while for all the stuff to load and that's it. Also my brother is all but networking-savvy and still is able to run any application he needs without having me to remote-hold hands.

Netmeeting needs that whole range forwarding? wtf does it think its doing?

[Brain]

It's Microsucks. Netmeeting listens on dynamically chosen UDP ports for voice and audio streams. That's why it isn't enough to just forward a handful of ports, but you have to forward the whole unprivileged range.
Bill Gates deserves a good kick in the 'nads for that.
