Look at System Settings - Network : are both Macs connected to the same WiFi or other network connection ?.

Click on the one being used, then click the Details button & pick DNS in the left pane & see if each is using the same DNS settings; switch to Proxies & do the same.
 
actually most simple on off resolved, amazing what on off does to resolve tech probs, thanks anyway
