On the Configuration > UPnP page you can enable the UPnP function.
Universal plug and play (UPnP) is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software and peripherals of the 400+ vendors that are part of the Universal Plug and Play Forum. UPnP works with wired or wireless networks and can be supported on any operating system.
When UPnP is enabled it will help your programs to pass the NAT and it will also appear as a UPnP device on your network. Future programs will use this device for different purposes. UPnP can be considered as a security hole, but there are great advantages too to use it. Programs like MSN Messenger uses UPnP.
To enable the UPnP function just check the Enable UPnP IGD Function box and click the Apply button.
