UPnP and the Gateway
UPnP offers you the following functions:
You do not have to manually create port mappings to run services on a computer. The automatic port configuration
mechanism for UPnP-enabled games and applications will do this for you. If the application is UPnP-enabled, UPnP will
create these entries automatically.
You can access the Admin Tool without having to remember the address of the Gateway.
