Let's XLink auto-configure port forwards for UPnP enabled routers and also ICS connections.

If you ever get the port-forward errors, you can press 'Automatically Forward Ports for Me' and UPnP will take care of it for you...

Yeah that's fine.

Personally, I switch between wireless and wired on my laptop, and get assigned different IP from DHCP server on the Linksys router each time I switch. So because the port forwards are directing to the wrong IP, I get the port-forward error.

I can then just use the button to automatically correct the settings (even though it wouldn't take me that much time to do it manually).
