try taking it out of the reservation and manually asigning it a ip out of the dhcp range.

then redo your port forwarding.

It apears the routers definition of reserved means its a dmz (and as such completly unprotected from the router firewall)

In the security settings theres a setting under where you specify the router access password that allows you to 'Lock access point'

As I understand it this locks access to those pcs pysicaly connected to it on the network not to any WAN pc's or even wireless one. hth
