No.

i'm not sure if the N9 even uses upnp, but i know the ps3 does hence why i suggested it.
Sigh. That happens if people leave out viable information, namely the complete name of the used standard. The "UPnP" found in your router is a completely different "UPnP" than the one used for media sharing and thus in DLNA.

Again: The one in the router does port forwarding and is used in the PS3 for simplifying online gaming and in the N9 for simplifying VoIP connections.

The other one is used in the PS3 for accessing media shares and on the N9 for being one.

Those two don't have anything in common except for something called UDA which defines the basic protocols used and being standardized by a industry forum called "UPnP Forum".

Presence of the one doesn't help the other in any way.
