Default Configuring D-Link routers for Symmetric or Full-Cone NAT
The D-Link DI series of routers (and maybe other D-Link routers as well) can be configured to perform either Symmetric or Full-Cone NAT. Under Tools->Misc., enabling "Gaming Mode" enables Full-Cone NAT, and disabling it enables Symmetric NAT. The out-of-the-box default is disabled (Symmetric). Changing to Full-Cone by enabling Gaming Mode makes configuration of VoIP devices behind the router much simpler, usually eliminating the need to manually forward ports inbound.

This is very interesting,
but my DI-624S does not have "Gaming Mode" option!

yea, the DI-624 has htis mode, and the VOIP can register,
but D-Links are plagued by poor performance, weak routing, and slow throughput

Good Forum
I have Dlink's DI-604 ADSL router. Please help me enable and disable symmectric NAT on this router. I need to test teredo on my windows xp machine which is behind symmectric NAT.
