hmmmm, Charlie. Most times if I let a router be configured by UPnP and then
disable UPnP the rules created by UPnP get deleted, as I consider correct.

Have you actually tried doing as you advise? With which routers please?

I did this on my D-Link DIR-655 during the beta of SBS 2008 while I was
writing the book. Just to be sure it worked. And it worked fine. I started
out with a default setup on the DIR-655, default install of SBS 2k8, ran the
Connect to the Internet wizard and it configured the router. Once everything
was settled down and stable, I went in to the router and disabled UPnP and
everything still worked fine.

I've seen the same behaviour on a different DIR-655 I'm using for Windows
Home Server here. I let WHS configure it, and then when it was done,
disabled UPnP. But since that time, I've manually reconfigured the router to
point some functionality to a different server on the WHS network, so if I
were to make the mistake of enabling UPnP, it would hork my custom setup.
