Re^2: UPnP - port forward through a router?

Is it the case that dd-wrt doesn't do UPnP and you wish to add it with perl? or you wish to access the UPnP that dd-wrt has from XP? Either way, I'd be somewhat surprised if it wasn't built into both.

From the dd-wrt docs it appears that UPnP is built in. Im trying to figure out the logistics of getting from a perl script out through the XP firewall and then out through the router. For some reason I think this is do-able. It may be folly though.

Here's a bit from the dd-wrt docs: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Port_Forwarding

There might be a way to ask XP to ask dd-wrt to DNAT the port on your behalf... Otherwise, it appears Net::UPnP is designed to do what you're looking to do. It's just a matter of navigating that documentation. It seems you want to make a control point, somehow locate the devices, and then issue a postaction. I'm fuzzy on the details, but I bet it looks something like this: `use Net::UPnP::ControlPoint; my $obj = Net::UPnP::ControlPoint->new(); my @dev_list = $obj->search(st =>'????', mx => 3); my $service = $dev->getservicebyname('?????'); $service->postaction('????', { ??? => ???});` [download] -Paul	[reply] [d/l]

I tried running the 'search' but it didn't turn up the router. The XP firewall has the UPnP exceptions enabled so that shouldn't be blocking it. I think my next step is to try to create a new 'service' and see how the various players behave.	[reply]
