I know it should be possible to communicate with a NAT/Router on a local network and ask for ports to be forwarded via UPnP, but I don't know any of the specifics.

I've found a gem that looks like it might be useful, but beyond that I'm at a loss (The gem's homepage appears to be down).

Does anyone have any pointers?

This is a Seattle.rb project. Somehow they have re-organized their homepage. The correct link is now http://SeattleRb.RubyForge.Org/UPnP/ instead of just http://SeattleRb.Org/UPnP/

You can find all the UPnP projects on the Seattle.rb homepage or on the Seattle.rb RubyForge page, near the bottom of the page, with links to their RDocs.

Thats really helpful, thanks! Looks like a bit of a slog while I wade through the UPnP IGD details, but I appreciate the tip!

unfortunately it looks like the UPnP-IGD gem they provide can't write to IGDs, only read! Looks like I'm going to be rolling my own…
