Setting UPnP for your D-Link router: http://support.dlink.ca/ProductFAQView.asp?FAQID=1004 However, I've also read where D-Link's UPnP has had problems on specific models!
Thus, for D-Link (which is what I use) you generally need to manually forward a port. ie: Set up Static ip, forward a port, & then set LW's advanced options for manual port forwarding. http://portforward.com/routers.htm (bottom left column of page) Can you find out the model of the D-Link Air utility? http://support.dlink.com/products/vi...ductid=DWL-520 http://support.dlink.com/SupportFAQ/...odel=DWL%2D520 http://support.dlink.com/techtool/Br...asp?RowID=1842
