Windows 10: Routing WS-Discovery across subnets

I want to route WS-Discovery across subnets, What protocols and ports do I need to enable or configure. And do I need to enable multicast routing.


I using Cisco 2801 routers with IOS 15.1.



Any help would be appreciated, I figure since you guy's created WS-Discovery, you should know what I need to do. I can configure the routers, just need to know what to enable on them.



Thanks.

Cannot keep Network Discovery Enabled.

Hi,

Thank you for the response.

I would suggest that you change the settings in the Firewall to allow Network discovery so that the Firewall stays On while allowing the Network discovery to be enabled.

Follow the steps.

a . Open Control panel.

b. Small icons from the drop down.

c. Click on Windows Firewall.

d. Click on Allow programs or feature through Firewall.

e. Scroll the list and check Network Discovery.

If you need additional assistance then let us know.

 

Gurus how do Windows computers browse network for new computers

Microsoft choose not to upgrade the Computer Browser service when deprecating SMB v1.0. Microsoft decided we don't need Computer Browsing anymore and can work around not having it.

The Computer Browser service relies on the SMBv1 protocol to populate the Windows Explorer Network node (also known as "Network Neighborhood"). This legacy protocol is long deprecated, doesn't route, and has limited security. Because the service cannot function without SMBv1, it is removed at the same time.


However, if you still have to use the Explorer Network in home and small business workgroup environments to locate Windows-based computers, you can follow these steps on your Windows-based computers that no longer use SMBv1:


Start the "Function Discovery Provider Host" and "Function Discovery Resource Publication" services, and then set them to Automatic (Delayed Start).

When you open Explorer Network, enable network discovery when you are prompted.

All Windows devices within that subnet that have these settings will now appear in Network for browsing. This uses the WS-DISCOVERY protocol. Contact your other vendors and manufacturers if their devices still don't appear in this browse list after the Windows devices appear. It is possible they have this protocol disabled or that they support only SMBv1.

I don't think samba supports the WS-Discovery protocol. Samba 4 may.

 

GPS on N8 - see route step by step

If by step by step, you mean a text listing of your route with turns listed, this is not available. This would be a useful feature and maybe you could contact the Nokia Beta Lab to ask if it can be added to a future version. It is however possible to
see a graphical display of your route.
