- Disable UPnP (I hate this protocol)Interesting. I don't think I've got anything net-connected that requires it. Might one ask why the hatred? (And also how to diable, if non-obvious?)
The protocol's sole purpose is so that a potentially compromised system behind the firewall can send a 'Pants *DOWN*!" command to the firewall. Further hatred is engendered by the fact that this creeping horror escaped from Microsoft *after* one of the great "Security is important" diatribes from the Gates/Ballmer duo.
