Do you know if your netgear uses UPnP (Universal Play & play) technology?

I just went to Netgear support site & search it but didn't seem to find anything about UPnP which suggests perhaps you should manually port forward your device.

The steps are:
1. Set up a static ip (very important to do 1st!)
2. Forward a port (use port 6346)
3. Within LW: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.

* For steps 1 & 2 see: (A) http://www.portforward.com/netgear/dg834g.htm &

(B) Netgear Support instructions: http://kbserver.netgear.com/inquira/...99#__highlight & select port forwarding at top of page.
