Hello Steven, I wantes if Xnet was using UPNP technology?

no it doesnt use UPNP or any other technology, its all code I wrote from scratch. And its a pain in the ass to debug....worse then doing the pocket pc stuff.

Thanks Steven!!!
And what do you think about UPNP, do you think it is useless for Xlobby?

its a very interesting technology....but I'm not familiar with any UPNP devices. Can you post some links, if you know of any to actual devices that use UPNP.

upnp is in its infancy... or possibly still born!

very few things support it... and I do not believe Netremote does... they are planning on it but no code yet from what I've seen in the betas/prerelease builds

I wish everything did... xAP actually looks better for HTPC and HA.
