I have a Dlink dsl-504 adsl/router and i've had this one annoying problem with it consistently freezing up. I noticed none of the ports in stealth on the modem so i used the "enable DMZ and point it to an unsused IP" trick to stealth all ports. By doing this the router freezes every few seconds but DLink tech support told me that the DNS proxy on the router was the actual source of the lockups, and instructed me to disable it and reconfigure my router to use my ISP's DNS. I have done this and now lockups only occur every few days instead of every five minutes. It is still rather annoying though.
