Q: Connecting Mac to Mac
I have an iMac and a MBP. Sometimes I can connect to my MBP, and sometimes I can't. It just seems to be so random.
What is the perfect setup to allow this to happen? Or is it just one of those things that it can't always connect.
What information can I provide to help troubleshoot this?
I have a Sky Broadband modem, and I also have an Airport Extreme connected, so I have 2 networks I can connect to. When I try and transfer files from the iMac to the MBP I have them both on the same network.
I have noticed though that my MBP name changes from afp://macbook-pro to a bunch of numbers. Could that be the issue?
I always seem to get the following error:
There was a problem connecting to the server "macbook-pro"
There are no shares available or you are not allowed to access them on the server. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem.
Now I have file sharing on my MBP turned on, so I am at a loss as to why this keeps happening.
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
