[Mono-list] FIXED - Everything working now

[Alan McGovern]

Hey,

If it's of any future use to you, here's how I handled binding to all
the interfaces and listen for upnp broadcasts. Check out the
'CreateSockets' method here:

Alan.

p.s. I really need to sort out the formatting of those files. They
have both 4 line spaces and real tabs in them :(
