Check your firewall to make sure that UDP messages are allowed on port 15350. If you have anti-virus installed then you may need to check its firewall as well. Also, check your router to make sure UDP messages are not being blocked.

This is a workaround to get you up and running.
1. Using Windows Explorer, go to C:\PhonePad5 on the workstation having the problem. 2. In this folder you should find a program called WorkstationConfig. 3. Open WorkstationConfig.
