On PC2:

1. Go to Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows
Components | Networking Services, and add these components if they're
missing: Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control Client, UPnP
User Interface.

2. Run "services.msc" and make sure that these services are running:
SSDP Discovery Service, Universal Plug and Play Device Host.

3. Disable and then enable the LAN connection.
