Winbox NOT discovering anything

RouterOS General
1

Cannot discover any router boards new or old via IP or MAC using winbox 3 beta 3 or ver 2

Wireshark: only sends out ipv6 multicast on port 5678. No evidence of any other discovery message. Unusual?

• On test network
• Win 7 64bit pro sp1 - Samsung r530 laptop
• Everything appears ok on laptop - web surfing, ssh fine, ftp fine etc
• Win Firewall off
• Bit Defender 2015 antivirus off
• Rb v6.15 / 6.18 / 6.19

Default config on RB’s

Anybody know why I cannot discover devices?

Regards

Aidan
