I have an imac (wired) and a macbook pro ( wireless). When the imac is on the macbook is unable to conect to the internet, i can access the internet via the mackbook as long as the imac is off. any ideas why this is.
iMac 27″, macOS 12.4
Per chance are you trying to use both of these Macs near each other? Do you use any wireless peripherals with the iMac? If so, create a new "Network Location" on your iMac that only includes the Ethernet connection. That way your iMac will not attempt to use Wi-Fi at all.
Ref:
Do they both have the same IP address by chance? Something like 192.168.1.123
Or computer name? No two devices on the same network can have identical computer names or network addresses.
