I can't speak for the XBox, but Windows 7 port-forwards nicely using the
trondah miniupnpd/minissdpd packages and the configuration changes in
#362.  So far, both Skype and Teredo are working on my hardware.  I skipped
adding minidlna for now.  It may be useful for serving videos from the
router, but it has many more dependencies and I have nothing that is
DLNA-compatible and not a full-blown computer (in which case I can use SMB
instead*).


* As a side note, Samba seems to have a couple of issues in Sugarland.
First, it appears to ignore WINS registrations from Windows 7 at least.
You can still get cross-subnet browsing from Samba listening to
broadcasts.  The second is that trying to run "smbpasswd -a username"
results in a segfault.  Maybe a local user of the same name is necessary...
