Best practice is not to allow Upnp to be used. Certainly in most cases port
80 does not need to be open. What type of router do you have? If its just a
low end one you really need something much better and/or use ISA 2004 if you
have SBS 2003 PE.

I have a Upnp router that has a built in hardware firewall. I have tried
using both methods for my internet connection wizard....(both being Upnp
vs.
hardware firewall just on and everything in stealth)
If I let windows use Upnp on the router, the RWW works perfectly, but It
leaves open ports and that just makes me really uncomfortable.
If i turn off Upnp, I go to full stealth....much better...(The router has
great programmability for pinholes and port forwarding)
Anyone actually leave ports open like that? or do you use a pinhole on the
router firewall for RWW? I'm curious how others are comfortable with how
RWW
sets up vs. how you prefer it set?
Upnp leaves ports 25,80,443, 444 just open....is SBS that secure that it
can
be left open like that?.....my little red flag is screaming in the back of
my
head at the thought of that!
