i get random disconnects in aim, and sometimes while running online games, can anyone help me please?
the activity lights on the router seem to stop for a while, then they will start blinking afterwards once again

directly connected to the router
ports are forwarded
ping to other sites is good, ping to gateway is constant 1ms
netstat shows 2-3 connections (normal)
no spyware, no viruses

what could possibly be causing this?

edit: i've tried netgear's support forums, from of which no help was offered

ENABLING THE DEFAULT DMZ SERVER WORKED!!! (no more random disconnections when using apps)

however, i want to know why port forwarding in this case was insufficient?
