UPnP Control Point Software on Windows XP with
Firewall
On Windows XP versions earlier than SP2, Firewall support is
provided by the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall. You
cannot use the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall
support on a system that you intend to use as a UPnP control
point. If this feature is enabled, although the control point
system may display controlled devices in the list of network
devices, the control point system cannot participate in UPnP
communication. (This restriction also applies to controlled
devices running on Windows XP systems earlier than SP2.)
On Windows XP SP2 and later, Firewall support is provided by
Windows Firewall. Unlike earlier versions, Windows XP SP2
can be used on a system that you intend to use as a UPnP
control point.
To turn off the Firewall capability on any version of Windows XP,
follow the steps below:
1. In the Control Panel, select "Network and Internet
Connections".
2. In the "Network and Internet Connections" dialog box, select
"Network Connections".
3. In the "Network Connections" dialog box, right-click on the
local area connection entry for your network; this will display a
menu. Select the "Properties" menu entry.
4. In the "Local Area Connection Properties" dialog box, select
the "Advanced" tab. Disable the Internet Connection Firewall by
de-selecting the entry with the following label:
"Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing
access to the computer from the Internet".
5. Click "OK".
SSDP requirements
You must have SSDP Discovery Service enabled on your
Windows XP system to use the UPnP Control point software.
SSDP Discovery Service is enabled on a default installation of
Windows XP. To check if it is enabled on your system, look in
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services).
