Hi, there's a protocol NAT-PMP which can be used by NATted clients to "request" portmapping from their firewall. It should supersede UPnP by Microsoft, as it's easier, more secure and .. er .. "more standard". (http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-nat-port-mapping.txt) Several Apple products support it already and also several clients (Azureus for example) thought their is no opensource daemon at the moment, which will be no problem to write. I wonder if it's in networkmanager's scope to support NAT-PMP to be able to "talk to NAT-PMP routers" on request by clients. So not every client has to implement the NAT-PMP protocol, but can just send a DBUS-message to networkmanager which does the trick. what do you think? greetings fabian zeindl -- träge wird man niemals weise
