You can use DHCP and port forwarding, but there is a problem concerning IP addresses:
if your IP is changed via DHCP then PF will no longer be available until you also
change the IP address where the port(s) are forwarded. I think a static address is
better; your router accepts that. It doesn't matter if you let dhcp enabled, just
set your comp to an address from the 192.168.1.x class, where x is 50 or greater.
Setup your computer's connection like this: IP to 192.168.1.100, mask to 255.255.255.0,
gateway and DNS to 192.168.1.1. The user manual says that the router runs a small
DNS server. If this setup works then forward ports you want to 192.168.1.100.
I assumed that your router's DHCP range and IP class are the default ones.
