When I connect from my MacBook Pro with Big Sur to a second MacBook Pro with High Sierra the Big Sur MacBook freezes and restarts.
This is most annoying as i cannot copy files through the Network.
I seriously regret installing Big Sur as this is the third issue in 2 days

I am connecting wirelessly from one MacBook with Big Sur to a second MacBook with High Sierra. I use afp://10.0.0.11 - once the connection is established and the shared folders are displayed Big Sur shuts down and restarts. I have also tried using a network cable and the same issue exists.
Basically happens connecting to any computer on my Network - same issue connecting to my iMac and Windows laptop.
Below is the Crash Report
This problem only started after the installation of BigSur - I use the connection daily and no further software has been installed. The last thing I want to do is reinstall the OS.
I have no peripheral devices connected.
Besides the Crash Report there are no further errors.
Contacted support and moved to higher levels of technical support and as yet the problem has not been solved
Software Update to Big Sur 11.1 has solved the problem (after spending many hours with Apple support)
