Well, I haven't implemented that yet: it's called NAT-PMP http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-cheshire-nat-pmp.txt ... the underlying library (jmdns) doesn't support it... and only a few hardware device do atm (like apple's airports). > > One issue here is that ISP NATs often look like LANs; how do we tell the > difference?
