W10 Client Slow To Find Raspberry Pi Server

Submitted by sheepdog on #1

I recently installed the server on a Raspberry Pi 4 and a client on two Window 10 PCs (identical builds). One of the clients finds the server and displays the hub with devices almost instantly while the other PC takes up to an hour to find them. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Are they both connected through ethernet or wifi?

(Also for the slow one you can just right click USB Hubs->Specify hubs and put in the ip address of the server directly, however it shouldnt be slow to Auto-Find anyway)

OK thats weird. VirtualHere server broadcasts on UDP 5353 using bonjour (avahi) and the clients listen on this port for announcements. Im not sure why one takes an hour. I think you will have to specify hubs for that client instead of using Auto-Find
