How to do port forwarding in D-Link DIR-628 router

I have a D-Link DIR-628 router. My problem is that I cannot for the life of me get this router to port forward. I have followed the user manual of D-Link and used ports 80 and then 8080 and 554. But I am still unable to get it working. My computer is already using static IP. How to do port forwarding in D-Link DIR-628 router?

You said you followed all the steps as in the Dlink router manual but still unable to get it functional, can you tell us what problem are you facing? How did you come to know that it is not operational? Because usually router manufacturer's provide complete details about their devices. However problems may arise if you are forwarding a port if it is already used by some other applications. Have you tried using some other ports to make sure what is blocking and where?
