As I said about five or six messages ago in this same thread:
http://hometoys.com/htinews/aug01/articles/microsoft/upnp.htm

(Rant warning)

And, no, it isn't specifically ISA server (I still refuse to 
call that a firewall... alerts in the _NT EVENT LOG_?!?!), although
I expect Microsoft will implement UPnP in it any day now (if they
haven't already). It's any box that wants to be compatible with
whatever they dream up next that needs full peer-to-peer 
compatibility and firewall rule bypassing. For instance, the
Dlink DI-70x (whatever the number is -- the little plastic thing
that is no larger than a walkman) supports it.


And, while on the topic, "Down, not across" is how you're
supposed to slit your wrists for the best effect. Appropriate,
if things that support UPnP NAT traversal get to pass for firewalls.

"And thus we retract the foreskin of ignorance and apply the
wire brush of enlightment" -- Geoff Miller.
This nicely sums up what I'm in a mood to do to some people 
just about now.
