For UPnP to work in Windows XP, you need to first make sure the
Internet Gateway device appears in Network Connections and that
your router appears in My Network Places.
For the first device, open up the Network Connections window. You
can do this by going to Start,
Run, and type ncpa.cpl in the text field, then press the
Enter key. Check to see if the Internet Gateway device is
displayed, as shown below.
For the second device, click the link for My Network Places in the
Network Connections window (left pane, Other Places section).
Check to see if your router
is displayed.
If these devices are not displayed, you will need to make sure the
correct components are installed in Windows XP. To check this, go
to Start, Run, type appwiz.cpl in the text field, and press
the Enter key.
In the Add or Remove Programs window, click on the Add/Remove
Windows Components link in the left pane. In the Windows
Components Wizard window, scroll down until you find Networking
Services. Select this in the list and click the Details
button. Make sure the Internet Gateway Device Discovery and
Control Client and UPnP User Interface options are
checked and click the OK button. Back on the Windows Components
Wizard window, click the Next button and follow the directions to
install the new components.
Now, you can start the UPnP service to enable it. To do this, go
to Start, Run, type services.msc in the text field, and
press the Enter key.
Find the SSDP Discovery Service option and double-click it
with your mouse. In the window that opens, on the General tab,
select Automatic in the Startup type drop-down list and
click the OK button.
UPnP will now automatically start when you turn on your computer.
