@Ace
Apparently you can't for this.Theres a problem with this model of dlink.
For portforwarding, there are two sections in the dlink website, you can either use virtual server or portfowarding.i tried the portfowarding but it doesn't work.To portforward you have to use the one in the virtual server.

I've been doing this for years and years, I've found out that it won't be necessary to restart your router.. You just click save and leave the page.
