For a few months now I've had the following setup running quite nicely:

Servermachine - just runs Hqueue Server, nothing else
Workstation
Renderbox01
Renderbox02

My servermachine is just an older windows 10 laptop that's always on. The setup has worked really well until a few days ago…

My issue is this:
Hqueue now only works with “localhost:5000” on my servermachine. I've been accessing the Hqueue console via its IP address but that doesn't work now. The address hasn't changed! Trying the machine name doesn't do it either. It only works if I enter “localhost:5000” on the actual servermachine. Trying servermachine's IP address or machine name on my workstation fails with a “cannot be found” error.

As far as I can tell my servermachine wasn't rebooted, the proper services are running on all machines. I've since tried rebooting everything but no luck!

Anyone experience that before? Servermachine and Workstation are both running windows 10 whilst the two renderboxes are on windows 7 pro.

Thanks!
