Running Vista SP2 (Got 7 on my desk, need to find time to upgrade)<br />
<br />
Network guy here told me that my machine is broadcasting M-Search packets.<br />
<br />
I go OK disable SSDP Discovery and UPnP Device Host services. &nbsp;The network guy says it's still doing it. So I disable my network connection (maybe getting re broadcast by switches), he did not see any SSDP packets, so definitly my machine. &nbsp;I tried rebooting, nothing. &nbsp;I double checked services and both are disabled.<br />

I ran netstat -a -p UDP, to see if there was a binding to port 1900 there isn't.<br />
<br />
I am stuck. &nbsp;<br />

Any ideas?<br />

SSDP broadcasts How to stop?

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
