I have saved you very good comments in notepad as "Troubleshooter". Last night I
reset the D-Link as I remembered that I had set it up to deal with eMule at
speed - to no avail as most of the items there have been fouled up either
deliberately or with people having lots of trouble on their computers.

I am hoping that the reset will set the firewall to its usual old self. Like to
do one thing at a time so I eventually can let people know which one did the
trick - but thanks.
