problem with port forwarding

[meBigGuy]

BitTorrent 7.9.8 on win7 x64 with DDWRT based router

I manually open UDP and TCP forwarding on port 14684 to 192.168.1.105 on my DDWRT router.  When I run the network test it gives me a yellow checkmark (saying port forwarding is not working). (yes, the port number is the one listed in the setup app)

If I enable uPnP in the router, then BitTorrent opens the same ports and the BitTorrent network check passes.

I've checked and double-checked the numbers, and they are identical.  But for some reason BitTorrent only recognizes the ports opened by uPnP.

I've tried every permutation of enabling uPnP in BitTorrent, and restarting, etc. But it will only work if I enable uPnP in the router.

Why is BitTorrent having issues with manually opened ports?

I really don't want to leave uPnP enabled on the router, so I hope there is a solution.

Do you get a checkbox in the status bar of the main BitTorrent window when you're using port forwarding only?

There is a green circle with a checkmark in the lower right corner of the app window and when I mouse-over it says Network OK.  If I run setup I get the yellow checkmark.

I guess I can leave uPnP disabled

Do you see this as a bug?  That is, the network test says I fail, but the main window seems to think it is OK.  The network test should pass with manually forwarded posts and uPnP disabled.
