Hey, If it's of any future use to you, here's how I handled binding to all the interfaces and listen for upnp broadcasts. Check out the 'CreateSockets' method here:

They have both 4 line spaces and real tabs in them :( On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 3:41 PM, Ylian <ysainthila...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Yesterday night I > http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2010/05/10/tools-for-upnp-running-on-linuxmono/ > posted a blog about the http://opentools.homeip.net/dev-tools-for-upnp > Developer Tools for UPnP Technologies now working on MONO. > > First, ExclusiveAddressUse was optional and not my real problem anyway. > Skipping it was perfectly fine.
