MiniUPnPd and My Network Places
-
Is miniUPnPd causing anyones My Network Places (in XP) not to open?
To reproduce: enable "Show icons for networked UPnP devices" in My Network Places. Wait about 30 minutes, try to open "My Network Places."
When icons are hidden everything works OK.
I've seen this on two of my machines…

i think you have youre pc firewall missconfiged
for my network places there is no use of pfsense only direct connections to the pc's on youre lan

first of all thats wrong. There is a upnp interface in My Network Places. You have to enable it.

I can reproduce this here. Whats funny is it works fine in Windows Vista as I was playing with that last night. It probably has to due with WinXP's crappy implementation of UPnP. If it doesn't receive a value it will crash. Heres a screenshot from Vista. Notice the unavailable sections. I will work on getting these implemented in miniupnpd.

I have fixed the issue. Use the below directions to update to the latest development binary. Let me know how it works for you.
From the console choose option 8 shell. Type the following commands.
cd /tmp
fetch http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/devel/miniupnpd
fetch http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/sh-replace-binary.sh
chmod +x sh-replace-binary.sh
./sh-replace-binary.sh miniupnpd

Ryan has been kicking some major bootie in the upnp area. Major thanks! This is prime example of what a pfSense package is meant to do!
