How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (in Windows
XP & Windows ME). Each UPnP-compatible device that is installed on your network
will appear as a separate icon.
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Parameter Description
UPnP (Universal Plug and
Play)
You can choose "Activated" or "Deactivated"
option from this session.
Auto-Configured (by UPnP
Application)
UPnP network devices can automatically
configure network addressing, announce their
presence in the network to other UPnP devices
and enable exchange of simple product and
service descriptions. Choose "Activated" option
to allow UPnP-enabled applications to
automatically configure the ADSL Router so that
they can communicate through the ADSL Router,
for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP
applications automatically reserve a NAT
forwarding port in order to communicate with
another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the
need to manually configure port forwarding for
the UPP enabled application. If you don’t want
to make configuration changes through UPnP, just
choose "Deactivated".
