    Windows 7 computer not recognizing all computers on network


    We have around 20 computers that are networked at a small radio station. It's a mix of Windows 7 and Windows XP computers. On Friday, one of the 7 machines has randomly stopped seeing all the computers on the network.

    There are only 4 out of 20 showing up on the network. None of the other computers have this issue. Sometimes I am able to manually contect in Windows Explorer using the \\COMPUTERNAME, other times it doesn't work. I've already rebooted the router and switch and tried safemode with Networking and no luck.

    Exactly the same issue that just recently happened. I'm thinking a Windows update is causing it.

    The strangest aspect is that the number of other computers you see is constantly changing on refresh.
    Anywhere from 0-6! Ugh.
