Netgear Discovery tool 2.0.7.0 no longer finding my 5 switches.
I have used the utility many times before. Sometimes I have to run it twice to get results. Now it doesn't find anything. I can ping them all by IP, I can get into them via web and they are all...
StephenB, I guess I should've mentioned that too. I am wired directly to the 8 Port in dining room GS108EV4 which is wired directly to the other 4 switches.
My other utility fines the switches by MAC just fine from the same computer. I don't think it's a broadcast protocol issue.
I did power cycle the switches.
Attached is a copy of the NGDT output, and my ping scanner output.

So most likely your Windows system is blocking some protocols (like SSDP) essential for the NDT. For example because of the Windows network adapter is set to a Public, instead of a Private network.
You still can ping any devices on your LAN,the replies will come back as expected. Similar, you can continue to reach any Web pages out there on the wild Internet -and- on your LAN - for example the switches. Same for any kind of an unspecified. All unrelated to the problem you are facing, isn't it?
