Before you consider using UPnP, you may want to do some
research.  There has been a lot of talk that UPnP is a
major security hole.

Gibson Research has a page for information about this:
http://grc.com/unpnp/unpnp.htm
Granted, this page is also promoting GRC's software
that disables UPnP, so you should take this with the
proverbial grain of salt.

There are, however, links on this page to other sites,
including a warning issued by the FBI (although a later
version of the same memo doesn't include the warning).

Probably a less biased source (although it doesn't have
all the different sources packaged so tidily) is the
CERT Coordination Center.  A quick search for  upnp
turned up 24 hits (although only some of these are
directly about UPnP).
