kastigo Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi, I just downloaded utorrent and testing it.Notwithstanding the UPnP support abilitated, I still get an NAT error.The point is that I'm in any case able to upload to peers.Shall I've to worry about that?Where Can I find information to configure UPnP correctly and get a Network OK?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 The purpose of UPnP is to relieve you of the burden of configuring. If you're getting NAT error something's wrong. Do you have a software firewall and/or router? Are they compatible with UPnP? The only software firewall I know that is compatible with UPnP is Kerio and Windows, what do you have?

triggernum5 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 The absolute simplest way to get by router setup is to put your pc in the DMZ..DMZ = DeMilitarized Zone.. Meaning that all ports are open and directed to that machine.. You forfeit absolutely all router protection to the machine in the DMZ, it is as vulnerable as if you were directly connected to your modem.(Also, with filesharing enabled its 'possible' to hack into other pc's on your network.)So those are the risks.. Personally I sit in the DMZ with no security running at all and never have problems, but I couldn't care if I got hacked since I don't run a business etc..

kastigo Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Problem solved.The issue was that I opened the XP firewall for utorrent, but not for UPnP framework.So check control panel/windows firewall/exceptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I thought the UPnP network is a pre-programmed port in SP2's firewall. Kinda funny that microsoft doesnt allow their services to work.I figured opening that port upon detection of UPnP devices is obvious >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPnP is quite important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 UPnP Framework exists as two ports (TCP and UDP) on my sp2 firewall exception list, but not enabled. That might be because i have disabled it, or because i have no UPnP devices. I really hope for MS' sake these get enabled when a UPnP device is found in windows.
