From our IT&T guys in Aus. (These guys know some funky stuff...)
Please stop and *disable* both these services on any existing and future installations of WindowsXP (any edition)
SSDP Discovery Service
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
By about WinXP SP3, M$ might have filled enough holes to let them be re-enabled semi-safely. (And who knows, there may even be some useful devices that make use of this technology by then!)
Cheers
