LAN PC suddenly not visible to other PCs but can see them as usual
I first noticed that something was wrong with the connectivity of one of my LAN PCs (Windows 7) when my Beyonwiz PVRs stopped listing it. Previously all four PCs (three 7s and one XP) had two-way connection.
I found that the 'missing' PC could see the other three as usual, but the others had lost connection with it.
I have tried another ethernet cable without any improvement. There is, of course, one-way communication, so the problem has probably arisen elsewhere.
One of the other PCs did come up with a Windows Network Diagnostic message: 'Problem found: file and print resource (COMPUTERNAME) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts'.
The question is why this hiccup has suddenly occurred. I would be very grateful for advice as to a fix.
