UPnP, specifically NAT traversal, works fine in OSs other than Windows XP
Jonathan, with certain limitations, depending on the OS.
In terms of MSN Messenger 4.x , MSN Messenger (on Windows 98/SE/ME/2000) will
establish voice connections with the remote contact through a UPnP IGD, as long
as DirectX8.1 is installed and functioning properly, with or without the general
OS UPnP support/APIs as provided by the "netsetup.exe" application from Windows
XP.
In other words, you dont need to use netsetup.exe or have any UPnP support
installed in the OS, you only need DirectX8.1 (or higher), in order for MSN
Messenger to establish a voice connection.
Cogitate,
Hofbrau
