If network discovery is not enabled, the utility will not connect. Here is what Microsoft says:. Network discovery is a network setting that affects whether your computer can see find other computers and devices on the network and whether other computers on the network can see your computer. By default, Windows Firewall blocks network discovery, but you can enable it. Note that this says Win7 but the point is the same for Windows 8.
If you are using a third party firewall McAfee, Norton, etc. The general principle of that explanation is correct, but not, I think, some of the details. The default state of network discovery depends on how you describe your network to the operating system. For a "work" network, network discovery is not disabled by default; for a "public" network it is.
I forget which way it goes for a "home" network, but if you say you're using a "work" network, you shouldn't have to turn network discovery on manually. Network discovery was turned off. However I set Network discovery to on, and saved the changes. When I double checked , lo and behold the Network discovery has been turned off again! And this happened several times, so something is amiss overiding the settings so they can't be saved.
I seem to recall a similar incdent when my Sonos system failed to be recognised but can't recall the fix Sonossuggested! But that is fine now. Here is a YouTube video that explains how to solve the problem. I will say that it seems reasonable based on other problems I have fixed.
The "Public" network is any network that does not share the same IP subdomain address with your device. In other words it is typically on the other side of your router and its firewall. A "work" domain is a Windows Domain. The domain administer sets policy on a domain server for all PCs within the domain.. Typically this is done through Group Policy settings and someone on a workstation in the Windows Domain not an IP domain usually does not have Domain admin to change Group Policy.
Network Discovery and associated services are something that would typically be set at the server. Most of that isn't true or is a gross oversimplification, but I have neither the time nor the inclination to debate it here.
The subject is well outside of the scope of this forum. Suffice it to say that if that's really what the You-tube video says, it should not be taken seriously. The operative point is that when the "network" at issue is a one-on-one wi-fi connection between a camera and a laptop or tablet computer, the OS has plenty of opportunity to misinterpret what it sees.
Firewall turned off on my computer. I checked with a UPnP spy utility, and can see 6D on the network, but the Pairing utility seems to not. I tried reinstalling EOS utility multiple times too. Because of the complexity of the WFT connection, we ask that you contact us for assistance with this. Hi Jonathan. I have to say that despite it originally working, upon trying it again following to same proceedure running as admin I can't get it to work now.
Seems extremely strange and quite annoying. What I didn't realize is that the UPnP settings were configured to check for devices every 30 minutes!! I dropped that down to 1 and was able to connect flawlessly in less than a minute. When Commodo barked about the new programs being installed, I made sure I answered every query with the response of treating it as an allowed application. So, for now anyway, it's running like a champ. I'm transferring a full size raw file in about 13 seconds.
