Note
The port forwarding rules set up via the UPnP Gateway are temporary. The list of
configured UPnP port forwarding rules is cleared should the SnapGear unit be power
cycled, or should the internal or external interface become unavailable.
The UPnP Gateway is intended for transitory application port forwarding, such as those
established by some versions of Microsoft Messenger for file transfers. For long term
port forwarding, we recommend configuring the necessary rules via the Destination NAT
features in Packet Filtering.
Should there be a conflict; packet filtering and NAT rules have priority over UPnP rules.
Configuring UPnP rules from Windows XP
Once UPnP is running on the SnapGear unit, you may configure UPnP port forwarding
rules from a local Windows XP PC.
Ensure the PC’s Default gateway is set to the SnapGear unit’s UPnP Internal interface.
After 10 to 15 seconds, a new connection named Internet Connection appears in the
PC’s Network Connections folder.
Open Internet Connection, click Settings then Add.
