Thanks for the informations, I have hacked the common.def file because I haven't fully 
read the documentation of shorewall before tring to use upnpd.

Tomorrow I'll try the same setup without modifing the common.def file; I have just 
deleted the first step from the instructions provided.

Best regards.
