Vampelle,
The DLink DI-704P home router you have costs maybe $30. It simply doesn't have the internal memory per port to buffer many packets (especially using it with P2P software) without finally losing some data. It doesn't have an SPI firewall and it also doesn't have a fast processor. Finally D-Link has so many variations of internal hardware within the DI-704P box that they are probably losing count about now. Check there website for hardware variations, A, B1, B2, C1, etc...
For those of you who successfully use P2P over this router, consider yourself blessed, as this box is known for problems.
If you haven't bought a Linksys product, I consider Linksys one step, maybe two above D-Link.
If you want a consumer priced BUT business class performance cable/dsl firewall router with SPI filtering, NAT, VPN (endpoint too), Security logs (email too), 8 10/100 ethernet ports (built-in switch), Dynamic DNS, and some other trick stuff, get yourself a Netgear FVS318 router. You'll get business class performance, rock solid protection for years for nearly $100.
Lose the headaches, lose the lack of performance, lose the problems, leave everyone else in the dust, buy the Netgear.
