Thanks Remy..
I have managed to get my app working with the Upnp Api and automatically 
doing the port forwarding, but as you said the "Support Upnp" has to be 
enabled in the router admin.

Is there any way of enabling this option via another via another library etc 
or will this definately have to be done by the end user.

Thanks again
