Well, not really solved - at least in the sense of an underlying problem being fixed.
I started using another old laptop running Win10, and was interested to notice that both Win10 machines could see the WU status for all three of my FAH machines. That is, they could see themselves, each other, and the Win11 machine. However, the Win11 machine could not see either of the others. At this point I was using a Chrome app window on all three machines.
I don't know what made me try this, but on the Win11 machine I created a Brave app window for FAH - with Brave shields down, of course. No other changes - just using a different browser. Wouldn't you know it - the Win11 machine can now see both Win10 machines.

Bears repeating that all system clocks need to be correct for clients to connect to node server. Possibly also the account server.
If you dual boot linux and windows, you might want to check your clock after rebooting.

we had similar issues in early v8 development. What kick started for me was a separate MS Edge instance, while my default firefox was struggling

Unfortunately, from my other thread, I still need to manually pause and start folding every time after the Win11 machine completes a WU.

I have a USB stick with one of the recent Puppy distros. I should run it on one of the Win10 laptops. Otherwise, apart from an occasional weekend, they are both doing nothing except running FAH. One has an i5-4210U, and the other has an i5-5300U, so either should be good for a nice lite linux like puppy.
