Re: Is anyone using UPnP anyway?
People should also have a similar understanding of networking if they're running a LAN.
I agree to a point. But the problem here is that the technicians that designed the hardware have made an elementary cock-up in the basic configuration of the devices they are selling. If they can't get it right, what hope to non-technical home users have?
The problem isn't the users, per se, in this case, the problem is the manufacturers putting out a device in a dangerous condition. This is like a car manufacturer selling a car, where they know the brakes won't work in an emergency.
