Windows can be tricky sometimes, requiring things to be cleaned up
before objects become visible.

Last Friday, I had just a server and a workstation on a subnet that
could not see each other (couldn't ping computer names or IP addresses).
  The following cleared things up (don't ask me why):

- open network connections control panel
- select TCP/IP settings -> Properties
- change from "use the following IP address" to "obtain IP address
automatically"
- change back to "use the following IP address"

Once I did that - even though I put all addresses back to their original
values - the server and workstation could once again see each other.
