Enables discovery of UPnP devices on your home network.
Used to locate UPnP devices on your home network. Used in conjunction with Universal Plug and
Play Device Host, it detects and configures UPnP devices on your home network. For security reasons
and for the fact that I doubt that you have any of these devices, disable this service.
If any EXTERNAL device does not function because of this service being disabled, place it back in
to automatic. MSN Messenger uses this service in conjunction with supported UPnP devices, to provide support
for networks behind a NAT firewall or router. Also, if you are experiencing difficulty connecting to multiplayer
games that use DirectX(7,8,9), place this service to automatic and ensure you download all security updates.
The problem that I have found with this service is that it broadcasts UDP port 1900 "a lot."
If you notice plenty of network activity even though nothing is happening, this service is sometimes the cause.
Take note: UPnP is NOT PnP. UPnP is for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers.
Your sound card is PnP. Do NOT disable Plug and Play service.
