Thanks, that's a perfect point of entry. It sent me to Avahi, a name I've been aware of for years but never previously investigated. And from there I discovered that 'systemctl status avahi.daemon' on the Pi shows that the service died about a day and a half ago. So I have my work cut out for me trying to figure out why it died. Is a restart sufficient, or will it happen again?
