SSDP Discovery Service

Description

Enables discovery of UPnP devices on your home network. BlackViper.com adds this: Used in conjunction with Universal Plug and Play Device Host, it detects and configures UPnP devices on your home network. For security reasons and for the fact that I doubt that you have any of these devices, disable this service. If any EXTERNAL device does not function because of this service being disabled, place it back in to automatic. MSN Messenger uses this service in conjunction with supported UPnP devices, to provide support for networks behind a NAT firewall or router. Also, if you are experiencing difficulty connecting to multiplayer games that use DirectX(7,8,9), place this service to automatic and ensure you download all security updates. The problem that I have found with this service is that it broadcasts UDP port 1900 a lot. If you notice plenty of network activity even though nothing is happening, this serivice is sometimes the cause. Take note: Do NOT disable the Plug and Play service.
