Dave,
I researched on it, and it is really dangerous, but my application just has
to locate some UPnP devices on the network (IP Cameras), so, I don´t have
any UPnP server to include security faults in my app, just a simple class
that sends UPnP search command to the network to locate the devices :)
I made it work and it is working very fine, it locates even more equipments
than native microsoft implementation (by using upnp.dll that do not work on
windows servers)
Regards
Eric

Take care.
UPnP is dangerous. It's a very common way for a lot of Malware on one PC
to open holes in the border firewall/router for it's own (doubtfull) ends.
UPnP was a nice idea for consumer stuff, but it opens a whole tanker full
of worms if used, hence many (most now?) windows PC's have that feature
blocked, and for very good reason!
Your router should have it disabled too. Any resultant wails from your
kids about the PSXBox or similar not getting on the web, can be fixed with
"normal" router/firewall "Port Forwarding", as per many good sites found
with Google. So much safer than letting UPnP work.
Regards.
Dave B.
PS: UPnP is not the same as "Plug and Play" hardware detection, that is a
totally different animal.

I thought about that too
But I found the problem. The LocalAddr (or addr? don´t
remember now) must be changed to local IP address, not
0.0.0.0, or else I don´t receive the responses
Thanks!
