Only way this can be done is to have UPnP enabled on the host computer OR
your router.
You can then use delphi to alter the UPnP port mappings (I can send you this
code on request).
UPnP was designed for port mapping configurations. There may be other ways
of doing it through windows APIs etc, but I'd have no idea how to use those.
XP Pro supports UPnP - Very useful if you use an XP Pro PC for connection
sharing.
