well for the technically inclined, why cant there be a little check box for
upnp that is checked by default, and then a grey'd out advanced port options
section for those whom upnp is not an option (ie. those it wont work for,
and those that don't want to use it. that couldn't be to difficult to code
into the software, and would give them a feature that is missing in yahoo
messenger. (suffers from the same lack of port options.)
