UPnP

[flamingspinach]

I've noticed that many applications use something called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). This seems to be some sort of a zeroconf API for port forwarding. Is this true? Is there a program somewhere that I could use to manually forward ports using UPnP?



Also, Azureus has a UPnP plugin that seems to be having some trouble with my family's router, even though UPnP has been enabled on said router. Here is what happens:

UPnP::SSDP: ignoring loopback address /127.0.0.1

What's going on? I tried going to http://192.168.1.1:5819/UPNP_WANPPPConnection.xml, and got something pretty promptly. Please help!

It would help if you gave some details on your hardware and OS setup - please tell us about your systems, their OSs and the router - What is it that you are trying to do.

Ah! Sorry. >_< OK.

Computer: DarkEngine reports:

What I am trying to do is forward port 52525 from my external IP to my subnet IP (192.168.1.46) in order to facilitate BitTorrent data transfer. I am also curious as to whether it is possible to manually use UPnP to forward ports rather than relying on a program already having UPnP built in.

Thanks for your help!
