Think that if You are using UPnP, You can get controlled, meaning, XP FW
could take control of the router (if router and XP FW have built-in UPnP
controlls). So depends on SoftW. and HardW. Also, think that MS has
everything "generic" weired in the system for UPnP. Still, You
should have installed the support from Add/Removes ... Also, there are
certain "trusts" where "auth" is present. In theory,
things work that way.
