UPNP in windows works great, but windows settings need chang
Posted: Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:38 pmI have had great success setting up Subsonic 4.1 in both windows 7 and windows XP by doing the following: (thanks to DC Plus FAQ at sourceforge.net)
# Ensure your UPnP hardware has the UPnP service switched on (some routers default to off), consult your manufacturer's documentation.
# Ensure Windows UPnP services (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services) are running. "Universal Plug and Play Device Host" and "SSDP Discovery Service". Both of these services should be set to "Automatic" startup and "Started" status.
# Switch on the UPnP User Interface. To do this: Open "My Network Places", and in the Network Tasks Panel, select "Show icons for networked UPnP devices". If UPnP is working, you should see your router's name in My Network Places. Also, when you go to: Start Menu, Settings, Network Connections, you should see Internet Connection listed under the Internet Gateway category.
# Reboot both your PC and your UPnP device (router).
