Note that if you find a "enable UPNP" option in the router's settings, that will allow you to use the automatic UPNP port forwarding tool.

The download link is broken so are the screenshots above.

 

I wonder what library did you use for UPnP port forwarding in that tool and the cncnet client.

If I recall correctly they incorporated the port forwarding stuff into the cncnet client at some point, and the tool was removed then so people wouldn't mess it up by changing it manually.
