Answer 1

 

I have the same exact problem with windows xp professional, and I don't really understand why. Also Messenger frequently causes my router upnp service to crash and perhaps I have to restart the router everytime it happens, that's really silly.

Found no solution on the web either .

Answer 2

im having the very same problem under vista, anyone here can help?
i think its a messenger problem because every single other program that uses upnp unmaps their ports when i close them.... (except messenger)

Answer 3

 

Well it seem that Microsft doesnt really care about our problem....

Verry sad.

 

Answer 4

 

im getting the exact same problem with vista... my whole wireless connection just totally drops.. has their been any foward movement on this matter yet?

Answer 5

The same thing has always happened to me. Cleaning up every "MSNMSGR" UPnP port mapping from past sessions is very annoying. The interesting part is that Live Messenger does delete the mappings on my Windows XP PC. The Windows Live team seriously needs to fix this.
