NETWORK QUESTIONS / TIPS

The connection is lost after a few minutes:

This is a system-based characteristic of the UPnP standard. Active communication starts on a port with a number higher than 1024 and then changes regularly during operation. Not all firewall programs recognise this knocking on different doors as a continuous connection. Depending on the configuration, the firewall may decide against an unknown client in case of doubt.

Depending on the firewall software, this can be resolved through the following actions:

•By using a fixed IP and without DHCP, define the MMM as a so- called Trusted Host, i.e. a device from which all communication is considered to be trustworthy.

•Allow the server to accept incoming and outgoing

communication with the MMM over ports 1024 - 65535.

Activate the exception setting for "UPnP Framework", e.g. Windows XP Firewall or activate "Permit UPnP communication".
