2. Universal Plug and Play Device Host and SSDP Discovery Service

The services support UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) in the Windows XP, Windows

Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. However, these

services collide with the UPnP support in WinRoute (refer to chapter 18.2).

The WinRoute installation includes a dialog where it is possible to disable colliding system

services.

Figure 2.2 Disabling colliding system services during installation

By default, the WinRoute installation disables all the colliding services listed. Under usual

circumstances, it is not necessary to change these settings. Generally, the following rules are

applied:

• The Windows Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service should be disabled.

Otherwise, WinRoute will not work correctly. The option is a certain kind of warning

which informs users that the service is running and that it should be disabled.

• To enable support for the UPnP protocol in WinRoute (see chapter 18.2), it is neces-

sary to disable also services Universal Plug and Play Device Host and SSDP Discovery

Service.

• If you do not plan to use support for UPnP in WinRoute, it is not necessary to disable

the Universal Plug and Play Device Host and SSDP Discovery Serviceservices.

Note:

1. Upon each startup, WinRoute detects automatically whether the Windows Firewall / Inter-

net Connection Sharing is running. If it is, WinRoute stops it and makes a record in the
