This from XP help. It is Universal Plug and Play that is the problem, not Plug and Play. Confusing? Universal Plug and Play allows Windows to discover and control Universal Plug and Play devices. When plugged into a network, these devices immediately provide their services and make use of other services on the network. For example, when you plug in any Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or laptop, you are immediately able to use printers and other resources on the network. Universal Plug and Play has very little in common with Plug and Play or non-Plug and Play devices. The patch at MS does not disable this service. To do so go to Control Panel, Admin, services. disable SSDP Discovery Services and Universal Plug and Play. From what I understand there is very little that uses UPnP at the moment. MS did not want to disable it as they believe there will be more hardware that will make use of it later. I have had it disabled for about a week and no problems. KC
