49152-65535 is a nice port range too :smile:

also disabling UPnP feature for windows is a security tip, if i remember corretly.

about that, if you want to be really secure... start -> run and type

net stop upnphost

press ENTER, wait until the black window goes away. this stops the upnp service.

then open regedit, go to key

look for the dword value called "Start" in the right panel and set its value to 4. done :smile:

of course this breaks upnp connectivity but i think port forwarding is cooler :cool2: but for X reason you may need the upnp service...

i need upnp because sometimes my router doesn't remember my port forwarding settings.

does your router support nat-pmp? because if so, you could use that and be a little more safe :)
