Chapter 5 Network Tab
UPnP Check the Enable box to use the UPnP function. If you use applications
such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a
feature in Windows XP), you should enable the UPnP function. The
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) function allows the devices, such as Internet
computers, to access the local host resources or devices as needed. Host
in the local area network can automatically open the corresponding ports
on a router, and make the application of external host access the
resources of the internal host through the opened ports.
Therefore, the
functions limited to the NAT can work properly. Compared to virtual server
and port triggering, the application of UPnP doesn't need manual settings.
It is more convenient for some applications required unfixed ports.
