Can't See Mac Pro on Network

I have just installed a new Mac Pro. It's on my home network and connecting fine.

I can see my MacBook Pro in the Finder fine.

I cannot see my Mac Pro from the Finder on my MacBook Pro. It does not show when I select Network.

Both computers running macOS Catalina 10.15.3.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

Networking two Macs wirelessly iMac and Mac book pro - both running Catalina. I tried to network them wirelessly. iMac shows in finder window of Mac book pro. But, it says "connection failed." I have shut down and rebooted both computers and tried this several times with no change. The name of my external hard drive connected to the iMac appears on my Mac book pro finder window under network, but its finder window in empty. Help.

My Mac looks like a PC on my network I've got two Macs on my local network. One is a Macbook Pro (recent model) and the other an iMac Pro (also recent). In the past, when I opened my Network folder, I would see the iMac from the MBP and vice versa. But now, on the MBP, the iMac has a PC icon (and the label "PC"). On the iMac, the MBP has a proper Apple icon. I haven't done anything funky network wise, my setup is pretty much out of the box. Any ideas what is going on here? I've already done most of the diagnostics here: https://superuser.com/questions/881157/why-can-t-i-see-my-macs-on-lan-under-network, but I can indeed see my macs, and can connect/exchange data between them, but they are not appearing as proper Macs.
