Windows 11 PC can't see M4 Mac Mini on network - Mac can see PC
Not much to say other than I've researched this problem and have found no solution. My Mac Mini is a replacement for an iMac 2019. The iMac had no problems being discovered and the iMac was used to set up the Mac Mini before sending the iMac back to Apple for credit.
The Windows 11 PC is seen by the Mac and the Mac can connect to its file shares. The Windows PC can't see the Mac but can get to the file shares using File Explorer: file://192.168.xxx.xxx. That would be fine except that I use iCloud for my documents and I get an error message if I try to access an iCloud document. This happens despite the fact that Windows 11 has the iCloud app installed with the iCloud Disk piece activated.
Both machines are in the same default Workgroup and have Network Discovery turned on. And since connections of-a-sort can work, the basics for network sharing on both machines is functional. I could live with getting to the Mac Mini using its IP address if not for the iCloud problem.
If you can help, I surely would appreciate it but stock answers that are a decade old would be pointless.
TIA,
Mike
