Server 2008 ignores my selection to Turn on Network Discovery

I click apply after selecting "Turn on Network Discovery", however, rather than having the green circle appearing, the gray bleak circle with "Off" remains.

Research: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948613

Hypothesis: If I create a new role in the Firewall to allow connection through Port 5357 then Network Discovery will turn on.

Results: The bleak circle with "Off" remains after opening Port 5357.

Hypothesis: Look deeper into the Firewall and keep it simple.

Current Results: I entered into the Firewall and tried adding a program "Network Discovery" in the exceptions tab, but I have not had positive results yet in finding such a program.
