i searched for this and am really surprised it hasn't been suggested before.

anyhow, i don't think i need to say how beneficial uPnP support would be for those of us sensible enough to have a hardware firewall and want to host.

thats for all you trolls who want to spam this topic with "but what is this UPnP you speaketh of?"
this is not an invitation to spam.

edit: I am FliesLikeABrick and I agree with this idea

I guess that it's not used because it's harder to code? Remember Suldat is coded in Delphi...

thanks for that flies, kinda forgot where i was.....

as for uPnP support in delphi, well, i cant imagine it would be that hard. after all, the whole idea of delphi is that its a high level language so its supposed to make things easier to do.

a quick search came up with these:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/jvcl/dev/donations/ (near the bottem, no idea what it is or if it works)

im sure there is other stuff that would help, i also found a few possibly usefull things on delphi groups in google groups...
