How do you configure port forwarding on D-Link routers? My specific model is the DI-604. I need to configure it to forward port 22 to my computer. (I need this for SSH and RealVNC).

Using the webmin.
Get on the network, open a brower. Type in "192.168.0.1" and hit enter. Login as admin, with your password (if still default check the manual). Click through the options, I think it may be under DMZ.

If you don't want to put it in the DMZ I think you can use the virtual server configuration under the Advanced tab (at least on my DI-524) to do that. I don't know that for sure as I haven't had occasion to test it at all, but that's my understanding of what it's supposed to do.

Yes, I'm using the DI-604, and that's how you do it. Be sure you go into the firewalling tab, and assure that you are allowing traffic as you want it.

In your browser go 192.168.0.1, the webmin dialogue box opens and you enter "admin" and your password. What you are looking for is called "virtual server" under advanced. There you can "allow Internet users access to LAN services" by specifying ports and schedule when they are available. Its not DMZ.

So I have to configure both the Virtual Server tab and the Firewall tab? Also, would you by any chance know how to configure it specifically for remote desktop connections over VNC?

I don't know about the firewall tab, but you do have to do it using the virtual server settings on the advanced tab. You may be able to find more HERE (http://support.dlink.com/faq/search.asp?question=port%20forwarding)
Hope it helps.

If you create a "virtual server", the DI-604 will open the ports in the firewall it thinks are appropriate. I always look over there to make sure I agree. To do VNC, set up the virtual server tab, using port 5801, and direct that traffic to the machine you want to handle it.

isn't it easier to just type http://192.168.0.1 in your browser and then
enter your admin and password login?
you can then set up your ports through the routers interface?

For VNC, I think that the ports start at 5000

I think that's what he's trying to do. Virtual Servers are how you do that.

As far as the VNC ports, I know that WinVNC (the one we use at work) defaults to port 5900. I don't know if that's standard or just our version, but FWIW that's how ours works.

I use tightvnc. Fron the docs:

The simplest way to allow VNC connections in through your firewall is to configure your firewalling software to allow connections to the VNC ports. If N is the display number of a particular VNC server then it will accept connections on port 5900+N. Configuring your firewall to allow connections to this port will allow VNC to work. If you wish to use the in-built web server and Java VNC Viewer then you will also need to allow connections to port 5800+N.
