Small Business Server 2008 Router Port Mapping

Recently my Small Business Server 2008 machine started complaining about not being able to open the router ports. I think it happened when I ran the Fix My Network Wizard to update the expiring certificates.

At some point in the past year I must have enabled uPnP on the router interface. When the wizard detects the uPnP it tries to configure the router and since it could not it was giving me error messages.

I spent a few hours trying to find some documentation on the wizard and/or figure it out. ONe of the closest places with good info was http://sbs.seandaniel.com/2008/10/fix-my-network-wizard-in-sbs-2008.html.

In the end I just turned off uPnP and reran the wizard and the errors went away.
