UPnP - yet again

I know this might not be the list, but I’m bandwidth hungry. I was
trying to get a response from one of the
Microsoft’s p2p network msg group, w/o much success…

Here is the problem —

  1. I’m trying to find a programmatic way to manage network resource on a
    Peer2peer network. And yes security is important, that’s the buzz word I
    play to my advantage :slight_smile:

  2. The network would be “home network” the way XP defines. Not a
    client-server w/ SMB/samba server.

  3. There is a bunch of Net* and Wnet* api’s but it seems like they need
    the server side of LanManager, MPR etc.

  4. Is it true that UPnP is the only choice ( it is only on XP sp1+, and
    Me !).

Any input, insight etc !!!
