ok, if the ip is something like 235.235.235.235 or 255.255.255.255 or
whatever, it means it uses UPNP.. UPNP is simply udp packages sent to a
specific broadcast IP, so I guess it uses upnp to detect if it's behind
upnp router.. but if there is no upnp router, then it must use another way
to find whether it is firewalled or not (i think with upnp you can ask the
router whether we're firewalled or not).

Hi,
from my Uncle's home ;)
I already did the sniff and found some interesting things but it seems
it uses UDP to check the connection... Very strange... But anyway I have
the sniff and doesn't seem to be so complicated... It contains the IP
adress in hex form and a port if I remember well... Not sure though and
as I am not at home....

yeah but it will work, even if it's slow!

yeah, if you put it this way :) if we can find it without RE-ing, sure!
now who's going to sniff M$N? :P
