Okay, thank you for the help. That's the strategy that I will try to implement as well.
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?
Network UPnP at least in XP and Vista still seems a mess at least IMO. Try turning on "Show icons for networked UpNP devices" in the Network Places folder sometime. When I do it with Windows XP it messes up a ton of stuff, including my system boot (half the stuff never gets started at boot). I don't know why Microsoft has never been able to resolve this. Things seem a lot better with Windows 7 for me (so far). -- "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."
reply to keems Alright, I will try it. Thanks for all the help. It seems pretty irresponsible of Microsoft to just turn on UPNP for everybody.
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?
I think, but am not certain (only 99%), that Windows Media Center requires network UPnP to work correctly. -- "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."
