   Thank you, everyone for your help.   
      
   Suddenly, with no intervention from me, my XP machine (on which I'm   
   typing this) is back on the network.

   I don't recall doing anything to cause it to work again.   
      
   I had copied some stuff from the web to a spreadsheet, and wanted my   
   wife to manipulate it, as she is a spreadsheet fundi, and was about to   
   copy it to a flash drive when she said she could see my computer on   
   the network again, and so I copied it to the public directory on her   
   Win 8.1 laptop, and it worked.   
      
   I then set up my laptop and pinged it, with the result seen above.
