Just curious about what kind of vulnerabilities would exist with UPnP enabled on the Windows PC, but disabled on the router ...
I don't know about network vulnerabilities. I do know enabling some UPnP features in "Network Neighborhood" can adversely affect automatic startup of applications on boot.

Also, does the UNPNP program to disable the UPNP on Windows not for Windows XP Media Center? It worked for me on XP Home and Professional but not on Media Center. Is there a reason for that?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-UPNP-Setup-22651969 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:50:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-UPNP-Setup-22651935 --

Also, I was just wondering, even with all of the Windows XP security updates and service packs, Microsoft wasn't able to fix the UPNP security vulnerability? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-UPNP-Setup-22651907 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:35:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-UPNP-Setup-22650832 --

My router lets me add a security feature limiting a LAN device to opening ports only for itself. It can't open ports for any other device on my LAN. Personally I think that should have been part of the UPnP spec to begin with.
