http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upnp This has nothing to do with bonjour. Bonjour is a networking protocol that allows your bonjour capable devices to broadcast to all network clients their existence and auxiliary information that can be used to assist those network clients in the configuration and use of said bonjour capable devices. UPNP is a protocol supported by many routers whose only purpose is to allow configuration of router parameters without end user interaction, it is typically used for example by applications that need a port opened like bittorrent clients but whose users typically don't have the know-how to open the port on their router themselves. -- Best Regards, John Musbach _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
