The UPnP options

Just a quick question,

For most Linksys routers, UPnP has 3 options:

UPnP: Enabled

Allow users to configure: Enabled

Allow users to disable Internet access: Enabled

Question: What exactly is the operation/functions 'Internal' of the two options of 2nd.

If I am game on a PS3 / Xbox 360/PC and my application calls specifically for UPnP as Dungeon Siege, or Modern Warfare 2 or Halo 3 (examples) "Power off" of those other 2 options will have a negative effect on the capacity of UPnP to automatically opening and closing of ports for these 3 systems and their applications?

Or are these options really just who comes to toggle the ability to 'Manual' to force open/closed ports in your Windows operating system, network neighborhood visit, etc. But will not affect the automatic functions of the UPnP capabilities?

I'm looking for something if all goes well beyond the text of the manual, as it leaves usually pertaining to these questions on important details.

Okay, so I did some extensive testing...

A huge reason why there are a ton of people who cannot get their Xbox360 or PS3 to work with UPnP is because you NEED these TWO options "ENABLED" (if you use UPnP and not Port Forwarding or DMZ)

UPnP = the option to use for "Multiple" game systems behind the Router 1.

So here it is:

ROUTER:

UPnP = 'activated '.

Allow users to configure: "enabled."

If "allow users to configure" is disabled, it PREVENTS the PS3/Xbox360 capabilities "Automatic" UPnP of configuring your ports for you.

Why 'Enable you UPnP' but 'Disable' the option 'allow users to configure?

Well, the option "UPnP" itself, just makes your network to 'See' the devices. The second option, "Allowing users to set up" is very misleading. Yes allows you to configure your UPnP ports "manually" If you wanted to, but it must ALSO be enabled for UPnP 'Automatically' open/close ports on its own for you.

* In addition, please be aware, that on some routers "Multicast" traffic must be allowed for the Playstation and Xbox to properly use UPnP and network in order to access some features.

Security > "Filter Multicast" should be "Disabled unchecked =" that "allows to" multicast traffic.

  • Can Thunderbird offer the possibility of images slect, via the thumbnail option, the selection of the images into the body of the email?

      • Thunderbird v.38.4.0 *.

    Not sure if the title makes sense, but I'm trying to find out if there is an option for Thunderbird display images as thumbnails, when you search for an image to be inserted into the body of an email? In other words, is possible that I can see what the images are, through Browse, before I "insert" in the body of the email. IE: thumbnails?

    Usually, it would be somewhere in the display options, where you can choose the size of icons, but the look on things, I don't think there are a thumbnails option, but I wanted to confirm this.

    If this isn't the case, it is a great option for future generations. It just makes so much more easier if embed you images, rather than tie them.

    Kind regards

    It shows the photos here for large or medium-sized icons, win 10. Open File Explorer and look at the display settings under Options files (see photo).

  • Bring back the old options windows in Firefox

    Upgrading Lee 42.0 was removed for the difficulty I have applied (setting the "browser.preferences.inContent" preference) to continue to allow the Options appear in a window pop up, rather than in the flat browser window. It's really annoying and difficult to use, the context menu was much easier to use and have floating "above" the browser window.

    The "browser.preferences.inContent" preference setting is no longer seems to work. Please tell me if there is a way to solve this problem, because I am in and out of the options a fair bit and it really is a pain to use now.

    Thank you.

    Hi marcoporcellini, firefox doesn't bring back the old interface options - browser.preferences.inContent preference was just in place temporarily for a period of transition. now that there are new features and settings, go to preferences and was former windowed interface is more maintained, its users would have missed out on them, so the support fell completely in firefox 42.

    If you still miss the old style - the Restorer Classic theme https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ addon contains some improvements to make the more familiar the style options...

  • Loading the Page options whenever I run the FF application

    Hey, working of FF 42.0b1 on 64-bit Windows 10.

    Whenever I charge to the top of the tab options opens as well as the Firefox home page.

    I changed some settings of the option, I don't see no option 'Save settings', so don't know why this is happening.
    I uninstalled FF, erased all remnants of the existing, re-installed settings and the same thing happens.

    Advice appreciated...

    Could check you your home page address to ensure that it is not listed there? It would be after a vertical separator, for example:

    https://www.mozilla.org/|about:preferences
    

    I think you're familiar with exactly where is true, but just in case: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

    Was he there? (Fingers crossed, because the alternatives seem very little likely.)

  • Customization of the preview of the Finder or the Display Options tab

    Hi guys,.

    I'm looking for a way to customize the information displayed in the tab preview Finders or in the Display Options for the Finder.

    I deal with a lot of video files (about 6 TB) and I'd LOVE a way to get the Finder displays which Codec to use the files. Cmd + i to see this info in the section of the Finder's ' Get Info', you can, if the information is already there and Finder is reading. I would like a way to add a custom column for the options that says "Codec" or to have that information appear in preview just beside where the resolution of the video are already displayed. Y at - it a third-party application that would make this integration in Finder? Or y at - it a script that can be written in the code of the OS to add these fields? I have 3rd party apps that can display this record in the batch lists, but I use just Finder (a step less) especially since the Finder already stores this info, I want just a way to put these data out in front where I have to cmd + i to dig for it.

    Thank you!!
