Well, at least you've ruled out hardware failure of the hub/switch.
Good luck - sounds like something more obtuse and funky to diagnose!
I do not have a clue what the problem was. I shut everything down and
crawled under the desk to get to the router.
The router was sitting on the floor under the desk because the cable to
the network printer was too short for it to sit anywhere else. I swapped
cables around so I could reposition the router up on top of the desk so
I won't have to crawl under there to get to it next time things get screwy.
I restarted everything in sequence - this computer, NAS, Laptop,
PhotoShop computer ... and everything is forgiven. They're all mapping
the NAS, and they're all printing to the network printer, each of the 3
computers can see the shared folders on the other two computers and they
can all reach the internet.
