As a starting point, I am attempting to discover services via SSDP.  If 
I have the firewall enabled, and I run upnp-inspector, I see no 
services.  No matter what combination of settings I have tried, I never 
see any services via upnp-inspector.  If I disable the firewall and 
immediately rediscover services in upnp-inspector, I will instantly see 
my printers, my media server, etc.  I wouldn't at all be surprised if 
the services didn't work without extra ports open, but I cannot even see 
them to attempt to use them.

Thanks
