It took me a few days to find the real answer to this problem. I can now play with my friends without joining through other friends. I got to give it to TommCcann.net, they are the real life savers—wow, I sound very geeky.
But enough of the chitter chatter, and more of the boring yet helpful information.
Here I have simplified his/her/hir’s tutorial for everyone so that it works well with the new Xbox 360 dashboard design and the new DLink (and the old DLink) design:
Step 1
In the New X360 Experience, you can access your Network Settings by going to the My Xbox tab/section and scrolling all the way to the right until you hit System Settings at the end. Inside, you will find Network Settings.
Click Configure Network.
Now enter in all of this information by setting the 2 sections at the end of the settings list to Manual (this is where a keyboard comes in handy):
IP Address : 192.168.0.250
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.0.1.
First & Secondary DNS : 192.168.0.1
Step 2
Now login to your Network Settings on your computer. Do this by clicking >here< (and then minimize or move the window so you can follow this tutorial while working at the settings).
You will now be prompted with a login box, the default username and password is ‘admin’. If the password doesn’t work, try the password ‘blank’. If that doesn’t work, I don’t know what else.

Name: Live 3
Private IP: 192.168.0.250
Protocol Type: Both
Private Port: 3074

Schedule: Always
Now make sure that has been added to the list below and you are done with the Network Settings on your PC. You can either reboot your Xbox with it’s new settings saved (just return to the main dashboard once you entered the settings on your console) or you can test your Xbox’s settings.

New Design (Orange Header w/ Black Tabs and Grey Background)
This is very similar to setting this on the old design, but just with fancier words. Here is what you have to do:
Click on the Advanced tab at the top and go to Port Forwarding on the left.
Fill out a blank area (must be a TCP spot) on the list with the following information:

Schedule: Always
Make sure it is correct, and then we will continue.
Fill a blank area (must be a UDP spot) on the list with the following information:
IP Address: 192.168.0.250
Computer Name (Dropdown Menu)
UDP: 88
Inbound Filter: Allow All
Make sure it is correct, and then we will continue. (Deja vu).
Fill out a blank area (must be a TCP spot) on the list with the following information:

Scroll back up to the top of the page and click Save Settings and hope that it will not log you out, deleting everything you just added.
If successfully saved, you are done. Congratulations!
