      Troubleshooting

      1. Make sure the computers are on the same network. For example, if your computers connect to the Kiosk through a bridge or router, then confirm they all connect through the same router.
      2. Turn on network discovery and file and printer sharing, and turn off password protected sharing.
      3. Make sharing services start automatically.
        1. Press the Windows logo key  + R.
        2. In the Run dialog box, type services.msc, and then select OK.
        3. Right-click each of the following services, select Properties, if they're not running, select Start, and next to Startup type, select Automatic:
          1. Function Discovery Provider Host
          2. Function Discovery Resource Publication
