Windows Networking Problem.

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can give me a pointer about a network problem I'm having.

I have a home network that includes a hard-wired Win10 PC, a hard-wired XP PC, and a wifi Win 10 laptop. Also connected are a hard-wired network printer and a NAS, both of which are connected directly to the same 4-port hub as the two hard-wired computers.

Up til a fortnight ago, all the PCs could see each other as well as print and backup to the NAS.

Now a fault seems to have developed whereby all the PCs can still print to the network printer and see the NAS, but no PC can see any other PC regardless of whether they're wired or wireless and regardless of OS.

Each PC only sees certain network components and not others. It's a major mystery to me as it seems to have stopped working virtually overnight

All affected computers are fine individually and as far as I know we haven't changed anything.

I've tried having Windows Firewall off and on to no avail, but I don't know what to do next.

Any other suggestions gratefully received.

TIA
