So... now here's something interesting...

If I'm on the SBS2k3 box on each gateway, both routers are uPnP.

Now XP SP2 doesn't quite see things that way.

And if you have VS Guest XP boxes they seem to be directly connected.

Before SP2 this stuff all just worked...

Are we waiting on another service pack again?

Thoughts?
