Hello,

Just changed it to main server, and I get the same message.

Also had the following message pop up on the top of the screen: Network Service Discovery Disabled. Below this is smaller non bold text stating Your current network has a .local domain, which is not recommended and inc..

Then this cuts off. I am not sure what is going on. First time I have encountered this.

Thanks.
