But the "port-triggering" on the wiki is just such a trick to open
up a symmetric NAT locally: to give a "restricted CONE". It works on
at least one of the D-Link models, so I would expect it to work
on all.

But "bridging mode", I suspect, is not NAT. And I would not expect
trigger rules to apply in that situation. But I am not really sure:
I have only used bridge mode when gatewaying onto a local subnet.

I suspect it is a problem in configuring the modem/router, but I don't know
the model and have no experience with a combined modem/router. So I hope
someone with the right background or experience will come in here.
