Problem with my Netgear WGR614 v6 Router and connecting

from Demigod Forums

I can rarely connect to every player in a game and the most of the time the connection comes down to just one other player.  I forwarded ports 6000-6200 but that did not fix the problem.  I know it has to be my router causing this issue.  It's just odd that I can fully connect to some people but not others.  Is there anything I'm missing, or is Netgear just the devil and wants me to never fully enjoy Demigod?

same thing with Zyxel Prestige 660series... if you have your router firewall enabled try to open the ports there too.

I opened the ports in my firewall, unless you think I have to open the ports on the windows firewall too.  Could window Vista be the problem?

This game does not support NAT correctly. Sadly, many routers use it (linksys, netgear and trendnet routers in particular) and often don't even have the option to disable it. Most online strategy games have this issue nowadays.

I believe I have identified this problem, or one like it, here.
I might be wrong, however the fact that it comes down to one other player - which I'm guessing is the last person who joins the game or is the last person the game attempts to connect to - resembles my problem.
