Holotoolkit SharingWithUNET example: Network discovery does not work. OnReceivedBroadcast not called
I was running the SharingWithUNET on two Hololens . What i notice is that both my devices end up becoming the server with different anchors. One of them should become host and the other as client.
It seems that the NetworkDiscoveryWithAnchors.cs script is not working as expected.
OnReceivedBroadcast method is not getting called. It can be either of the two problems: The device that has been started as Host is not broadcasting or the device that was supposed to be the client has not been able to receive broadcast.
I can't figure out how to correct these problems. Kindly help.
Also note:
- There is no update method in NetworkDiscoveryWithAnchors.cs class that derives from networkdiscovery . So this cause is ruled out.

Found a solution: Turns out that when i make my laptop as mobile hotspot and my two Hololens devices connect to this hot spot ,then it works.
But if both the Hololens are on public ip on same wifi, then the network discovery does not work.1

I can't even compile using UNET. Says I'm missing assembly for NetworkPlayer which is part of NetworkDiscovery UNET class?
Tried the example now and it compiles but of course it doesn't work. Such a great device.
For those still struggling with NetworkDiscovery on the HoloLens, make sure you've enabled the Internet (Client & Server) capability either in Player Settings -> Publishing Settings or the Visual Studio project's manifest file.
