Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and

Play

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers

access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can

automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.

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),

enable UPnP.
