Cannot see Server 2008R2 in network places / Turn on network discovery doesnt work or stay on

I opened the Services MMC snap-in and saw that the following services were disabled:

  • Function Discovery Resource Publication _ set it o Automatic and start it. 
  • SSDP Discovery
  • UPnP Device Host

Enabling and starting these services did the trick and now Network Discovery is enabled and I can see the server. It doesn't explain why toggling this in the UI didn't enable these services.
