Does Win7 have any other issues with networking? Can you get on internet through it at all? I guess, but it's allways wise to verify. If Win7 is incompatible with your router then I suggest to consult the support department of the brand of your router and ask. But if you experience no other (temporary) network problems then I don't think there is an incompatibility. Are you sure the drivers are upto date?Aside from driver incompatibilities with your networdcard (perhaps because it is 64bit) Win7 properly adheres to the network standards.
Did you ever set portforwarding for both 2 sets of port ranges? In the readme.txt text file in the DW gamefolder it mentions a specific port (iirc 6 thousand and something) to initiate the connection, BUT ALSo a larger range (iirc 2302 to 2400) for the actual game communication. Also, if your router assigns a different IP adress to your computer every now and then (after a certain number of hours or days the computer looses the IP-adress lease if it does not renew it), then the packets may be forwarded to the wrong adres than specified in the port forwarding. See if you can somehow reserve an adress for your DW server in your router.
