CHANGES
No changes done, its a fresh installation during which issues may be seen.
CAUSE
Settings in NIC card may not allow the installer to complete the configuration.
SOLUTION
1) Check with ipconfig /all there is an IPv4 address enabled and check if multicast is enabled too
c:\> ipconfig /all

If IPv4 is not enabled contact the network administrator to assign an IPv4 address.
2) Check if multicast is enabled with the netsh interface ip show joins command:
C:\>netsh interface ip show joins
Interface 1: Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
Scope References Last Address
---------- ---------- ---- ---------------------------------
0 1 Yes 239.255.255.250
Interface 14: Local Area Connection
Scope References Last Address
---------- ---------- ---- ---------------------------------
0 0 Yes 224.0.0.1
0 1 Yes 224.0.0.252
0 1 Yes 239.255.255.250
If you don't see any row corresponding to your network interface it means multicast is not enabled. If multicast is not enabled contact the network administrator to enable it.
3) Once confirmed you have an IPv4 address and multicast enabled retry the configuration and confirm is working fine.
