UPnp and Windows 2000?

[MR-KEN]

A few questions:

1. Is there any configuration the end user has to perform for enabling UPNP
on the windows 2000 ?
2. Is there anywhere on the win2000 machine to find out if UPNP is enabled?
3. Is there any known problems w/ windows machines and MSN service pac's?
4. Is there any other application that could cause a conflict w/ UPNP when
both are installed on a win 2000 machine that would cause UPNP to fail?

 

[Dan DeStefano]

have you checked to see if the upnp service is running?

Hi Ken,

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is an architecture in Windows XP that
supports peer-to-peer Plug and Play functionality for network devices. UPNP
is not included in Windows 2000.

You can install Universal Plug and Play support in Windows XP by using the
Add or Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. If Universal Plug and Play
support is installed, when a Universal Plug and Play device is added to the
network, the Windows-based computer acts as a control point for that
device, and notification is provided on the taskbar that a new device is
available.

You can refer to the following article for more information.

Have a nice day!

Thanks you very much... I also wanted to confirm that UPnP is NOT supported
on Windows 2000.

Yes, Windows 2000 does not support UPNP.
