Click proceed then the big yellow exposure test.

One of three responses are exposed, rejected or no response.

BTW: If you turn this feature off in your router you will still more then likely be able to stream audio and video.

Good, my router passed the test.

I haven't ever seen a compelling reason to have UPNP enabled at all, and plenty of reasons not to enable it, so I always have it completely disabled.

You should also disable the uPnP & SSDP service in Windows for added protection and if your not using Homegroup then Homegroup Provider and Listener.

Sadly there are still a dozen more services that need to run to make File & Print sharing work. Such a Rube Goldberg.

I was having issues getting my roommate's playstation to work properly without upnp in my router, so I enabled it.

Usually I wouldn't have it enabled though, kinda wondering if anybody else had issues?

Edit: Hpwever, I just VNCd in and rant he check at home and it would seem my router didn't respond...wonder what happened there
