I have not made any changes except for MS updates. I have checked everything and all looks good.

Today, I found something on the internet which stated that I need to use the IP address of my PC on the other PCs. I made the change and it works but I do not understand what changed so that the network will not take the name of my PC to resolve the addresses.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone have a clue as to what changed and when?

Just a guess ,but I would check to see if these files changed to a "hidden" status. If you get them to be "unhiden", it might solve your problem. That is, if I understand, your problem.

Like I said, just a guess. Hope is solves your problem.
