I disable UPNP on PS3, but UPNP entry appears anyway?

I have a PS3 game console, and set it to a static IP of 192.168.1.100. I also have it placed in the DMZ, for what it's worth.

I disabled UPNP in my PS3 networking settings. However, despite UPNP being manually disabled on the PS3 console, an entry for UPNP still appears in the Gargoyle interface, regardless. The entry is as follows:

Protocol: udp
Lan host: 192.168.1.100
Port: 3659

I've tried disabling and then re-enabling UPNP in Gargoyle, so see if I can clear this unwanted UPNP entry up. It's gone for a while, but then after a few minutes, it comes back again.

Is this a bug?

Gargoyle lists the upnp requests that it receives.

Your description indicates that your PS3 is making upnp requests on your router.

So if there is a bug it is in your PS3.

Hmm, in my old DD-WRT router that I used for years, my PS3 also had UPNP turned off, and I never recalled DD-WRT reporting any false/unwanted UPNP requests or entries.

I did update my PS3 firmware just yesterday (4.21), but I'm not sure that has anything to do with it.
