You should verify that multicast is enabled on the router, diagnose driver installation problems by checking for events with source User-PnP in the event log, and diagnose device enumeration events by checking for events with source PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator Service in the event log. To verify that multicast is enabled on the router: Refer to your router documentation for information about enabling multicast on your network.
