Re: Fixed IP disappears from "computers near me"??

The hibernation shouldn't be an issue. I think there is something wrong in
your router setup. Maybe the lease time is too short.

Fixed IP addresses should be no problem in your case, what I think is that
there are some problems with the master browser service on your network.
Start the Computer Browser service only on one computer on the network
(maybe on the one that runs all the time) and disable it on the others.
