Heh...well worse, the original requirement (not ours) for upnp was for applications that open dynamic ports. You can then tell the firewall what port you need open. Of course, upnp is a huge security risk in a corporate environment, but then you'd never have your firewall on the same network segment as the clients right? :) --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
