This happens at randomly for several hours several times a day. Anyone experienced something similar or know how to fix it?

Could be due to 'Computer Browser' service. Sometimes the master browser transfers to a computer which isn`t working properly and stops you from seeing other devices.
Use the browstat.exe command to see status of browsing.
