I have a new iMac Pro running Catalina 10.15.3 connected to home network via ethernet. Also on the network are a MBP 2016 and an iMac 2015 both running Mojave 10.14.6. The iMac is on the network via ethernet and the MBP via Wi-Fi. Connection to the iMac Pro fails from the MBP and the iMac but the iMac Pro connects to both the MBP and the iMac.
Hi there,
You might not have the right sharing settings enabled on your iMac Pro. You will need to enable these settings to allow other Macs to connect. If you are trying to access files on your iMac Pro, make sure File Sharing is enabled, which you can learn about here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204445
Apple provides some additional possible fixes at the link here: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchlp1656/mac
Do any of these solutions work for you?
File Sharing was enabled on the iMac Pro before I attempted to connect from another Mac computer on the local network. I have tried again and although I can access all the files on the other computers from the iMac Pro, the connection fails when I try to connect to the iMac Pro.
On the Catalina iMac you might try turning on File Sharing via AFS (then off again) in Sharing > File Sharing > Options.
Also, delete any shared folder(s), and then add them again.
It seems that sometimes the sharing protocols need a little bit of a nudge to make themselves available to other machines on the network.
No. All settings on computers as suggested in article above.
Computers on a local network cannot connect to iMacPro running Catalina 10.15.3
