D-Link devices only support UPnP in certain models (
http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.as...eral%20Routers ), which allows LW to communicate directly with the device to open ports. Setting UPnP for your D-Link router:

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.
