I had problems a few months ago creating the proper firewall rules to allow
for the uPNP server until I disabled the firewall.  After that, the server
popped right up on my other devices.  I have been meaning to make a second
attempt.  Right now, I have the firewall disabled and I'd like to change
that (it's behind my router and there are no external ports forwarded to
it).
