I'm not sure it has anything to do with StopBroadvast and StopHost combo. Because when you start the game without having connection you can start the Broadcast as a Client but when you start it as a Server it gives the same error mentioned above.
Btw, are you sure you aren't calling StartAsClient multiple times? cause that also causes a crash, thats a no no, don't do that :)

This isn't fixed. NetworkDiscovery is anything but stable.

If you call StopBroadcast and something like StopHost afterwards, the NetworkDiscovery screws up and won't work properly anymore. I guess StopHost somehow breaks the StopBroadcast routine. I don't know, but maybe this behavior is somehow related to the issue?
