Those occur at the start when your node downloads an initial set of hosts via 
http (and that set may contain a couple of outdated entries, just ignore the 
messages, they are not really an error).

If you are behind a 'true' router, the D-link should not matter; yet, I 
suspect the wireless-box will also do NAT, which will get you started with 
some trouble - it typically means that you can send stuff out, but nobody can 
reply. You must configure the D-link router to *forward* inbound UDP/2086 
traffic to your wireless client. Furthermore, you must configure your client 
(gnunet.conf) to advertise the IP of the NAT/router, and not of your local 
host. 

In general, 'gnunet-stats' is a little tool that will query a running 
gnunetd-node for 'statistics'. If you did not have any inbound ping or pong 
traffic after a while (couple of minutes) I would suspect that the 
router/NAT-box/firewall or gnunet.conf is misconfigured.
