If you are running a DSL modem that has a built-in router and also a DLink router on top of that, you have to be sure you are Port Range Forwarding properly. Basically, your DSL modem/router should either have your EQEmu ports all forwarded to your DLink router, or you should set your DLink routers as a DMZ in your DSL modem/router config. THEN, you need to forward the ports from your DLink router to your server.

It has to have a path straight through both devices. Using 2 routers chain linked together like that, you just have to be sure you have the path of the ports set properly as described in the last paragraph. The easiest way to start trying to get it configured properly would probably be to set your Dlink as the DMZ in your DSL modem/router config, and then set your server as a DMZ in your DLink router config. If that doesn't work, then something else is wrong, but it should work if you do it correctly. Then, once you know it is working, you can start setting specific ports instead of keeping it as a DMZ setup, because having all ports open like that is a security risk if you leave them like that too long.
