Re: does UPnP automatically forward ports?

It says this:

Quote:
NAT Traversal Technology

NAT traversal technology allows network applications to detect that they are behind a UPnP-enabled NAT device. Then the applications can learn the shared, globally-routable IP address, and configure port mappings to forward packets from the external port of the NAT to the internal port used by the application—and all automatically so the user doesn't have to manually configure port mappings or other such rigmarole. NAT traversal allows network devices or peer-to-peer applications to traverse a NAT gateway by dynamically opening and closings ports for communication with outside services.
But IDK how it would know what port you want to forward.
