2. Click in the “Allow Other Network Users to Control Broadband Router’s
Network Features” check box to enable UP n P and allow UP n P services to be
defined on any of the network hosts.
3. Click in the “Enable Automatic Cleanup of Old Unused UP n P Services” check
box to enable automatic cleanup of invalid rules. When enabled, this feature
checks validity of all the
UP n P services and rules every five minutes. Any old
and not used UP n P defined service is removed, unless any user defined rule
depends on it. Since there is a maximum limitation on the number of UP n P
defined services (256), enable the cleanup feature if the limit is in danger of
being exceeded.
4. Select whether all WAN connections, or only the main WAN connection, will
have UP n P active, from the “ WAN Connection Publication” drop-down list.
UP n P services are not deleted when disconnecting a computer without proper shut-
down of the UP n P application (e.g. messenger). Thus, if running a boingo, services
may often not be deleted, and will eventually lead to exhaustion of rules and ser-
vices, and no new services can be defined. In this scenario, the cleanup feature will
find the invalid services and remove them, preventing services exhaustion.
