Enabling UPnP in Windows XP

If the UPnP configuration was not successful, a UPnP: Setup failed message will show in the status bar. Assuming that you have enabled UPnP on your router, the next step is to ensure that Windows XP is set up correctly to use UPnP. Note: It is the collective experience of Windows XP users that UPnP is a bit of black magic; sometime even when it is set up correctly, it will randomly fail, or won't work until you reset your router or computer. Ironic, no?
For UPnP to work in Windows XP, the Internet Gateway device must be available in your Network Connections control panel, as shown here:

Are you using broadband? Are you using a Router? Ie NOT a usb modem, but a connection either wireless or via a network patch cable?

I'll assume you are, you need to log in to the routers config page, and enable uPNP there. Otherwise programs will not be able to open a port on the router.

According to the website below UPnP is such a security risk that the FBI used to advise all Windows users to disable it!
