I'm trying to get port forwarding on a D-Link DIR 655 working without success. From what I've found on the Internet, there are known issues (but not known workarounds). I've upgraded the firmware to A4, 1.32NA (the latest) and still can't forward ports. I'm using portforward.com and Shields Up to test the port.

Details:
I'm trying to open port 58294 for BitTorrent use. I'm able to access the router's advance setup and configure the port forwarding. The process is straightforward and I've done this with other routers. After the router reboots, the port is still not accessible.

I've determined that the software firewall (Native Win 7 x64) is allowing BitTorrent traffic. As a check, I temporarily disabled the Win 7 Firewall and the port remained block.

The only virus stuff I'm running is Windows Defender and Immunet.

I've tried the Routers "Virtual Server" settings as well without success.

Any thoughts?
