Please someone at the board help me. I've tried variouse boards and no one was able to help. Anyway I have a DI-624, firmware 2.70. I have opened a few ports for some games and they aren't working. Some reason it always says ping time out. It also does this for every port opened on my router. Including the ones my router came with. Can someone please help?
General this appens when the MTU is set to high. Located as an option on most routers, under the WAN advanced options. Lower to 1400 and see if that help.
This site DslReports under tool section there is one called tweek test. Run it for other sugestins.

Ports open on Di-624,
Have you ran a port scanner to verify that these port are actually open. When you add rules to firewall they are executed as the list indicates. So if the order is wrong it is possiable to block the rule before the rule is executed.
Here is another site that has advanced port scanner. You can actuall tell it what ports you want to test. http://www.pcflank.com/about.htm
We have scanned your computer' ports used by the most widespread trojan horses. Here is the description of possible ports' statuses:
"Stealthed" (by a firewall) -Means that your computer is invisible to others on the Internet and protected by a firewall or other similiar software;
"Closed" (non-stealthed) - means that this port is closed, but your computer is visible to others on the Internet that can be potentially dangerous;
"Open" - Means that this port is ready to establish (or has already established) a connection with remote address. It also means that your computer is vulnerable to attacks and could have been already hacked or infected by a trojan/backdoor;
Port: Status Service Description
7845 stealthed
But why is it stealthed? I opened it. What am I doing wrong?
Need to double check the rule. You be blocking it. Also look closely at the order. If block all execute before open, block all works. Some allow you to enter rules but will not execute till you apply them.
I allowed it in the firewall section. I allowed it in the virtual server section and I allowed it in the filter section.. and it's still saying that the port times out, Matter of fact it says all of my tcp ports time out.
Ok so I opened the ports and it's still not responding to the ports... the bad thing is that this happened after I uppdated my firmware.. maybe if I downgrade the problem will be fixed? can you tell me where I can get older di 624 firmware?
Pings are only a diag tool. The site could also be down.
As long as the site is up, it can run anoymos with ports open in a range that are normally used for http services.
Do you Know if the site is UP ???
If so, work on opening up the ports, through the router. Use port scanner to verify without going to the gaming site.
Most router have the capabilty to trigger ports. Meaning when you launch a application and trigger a port, it auto open others. This allows the firewall to stay up and only open the required for minimal exposure.
Try bypassing the router. I have the same router and you have done everything correctly on the router end. If it is not a software firewall on your computer then it may be a bunked router. What OS are you running and if it is XPSP2 you may have to kill the security center or atleast allow it through. Also are you running Windows Defender? That program often stops network traffic. I ran a wireless media player and it stopped it from connecting. Although I had it running wired at the time.
Go under applications and add it there. I also imagine that screne was added to the firewall rules list?? Check to make sure it is on that list. if not add it to that list too.

I heard d-link routers have this thing called "game mode" where you choose the games u want to play and it opens the ports and such. Did u try that?

The DI-624 does not have a game mode thingy. It does have a applications area where they have most commonly played games ( i would imagine anyhow) area.. It has about 7 ports for cetian types of games like battlemode or whatnot. I dont remember right off hand but I have a DI-624 and have seen these settings. I am not a gamer so i have never used these.
