when I open the CalibrateEnsemble.exe,and open the"setup",hit "discover cameras",sometimes I can find 1 kinect server,sometimes I find 0 kinect server. projector server runs fine. I changed nothing,reboot my machine,maybe the problem is solved. Did I miss somthing? what's the matter?

The discovery functionality is just a convenience to lookup the IP addresses of the Kinect servers on your network. If you find that discovery doesn't work for you, you can find the IP address other ways and put it into your calibration XML file.

Question coming from a beginner, how would I go about looking up the IP addresses of the Kinect servers on my network?

I used the "Resource Monitor" tool to obtain information about all network-related activities and used the Address column to obtain what I thought would've helped. However, using the address supplied within the "KinectServer.exe" row, I still wasn't able to get CalibrateEnsemble.exe to discover the Kinect Server.

Am I using the wrong IP address? If so, then how would I look up the IP address for the Kinect Servers on my network? If not, then what else can be happening so that the CalibrateEnsemble.exe main form informs me that 0 Kinect Servers exist.

Btw, I am running KinectServer.exe and ProjectorServer.exe just like the tutorial had stated.
