Re: qwest is full of idiots

Yeah, that's a known issue... but it's not the actiontec. It's windows XP. Here's some links:

Actually it is the Actiontec. The Actiontec modem is running the Linux Universal Plug and Play daemon, which is what Windows is seeing. You can prevent Windows from seeing it by following the instructions in the links above. However, I wish there was a way of disabling UPNP in the modem. I believe an earlier version of the Actiontec firmware had this ability, but they took it away (the ability to control whether or not the UPNP daemon runs). The UPNP daemon takes a fair amount of memory, which is wasted if you aren't using the feature.

Of course, if you want things like AIM/Messenger video chat to work, then you need this feature and should not disable it.
