Seeing Connection Failed message, but everything works, I think....

I have several apple computers - iMac-27, iMac-20, MacMini, and a MacBook Pro.

I am able to "see" all my "remote" machines in Finder under the "SHARED" section - all part of my Back To My Mac grouping.

When I select one of them with the intention of Share Screen, the "Connection Failed..." message appears, and I select "Share Screen..." and everything seems to be working fine.

Am I missing something here?
