Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.

Description

UPnP

Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone

 

could use a UPnP application to open the web configurator's

 

login screen without entering the WEBSHARE 111U IP

 

address

Auto-configured

Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to

 

automatically configure the WEBSHARE 111U so that they can

 

communicate through the WEBSHARE 111U, for example by

 

using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve

 

a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another

 

UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually

 

configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled application
