Q: 'Connection Failed' when connecting to local iMac

I am unable to connect to my iMac that is on the local network. When I attempt to connect using the Registered User creditials it failes and the following message is found in the Console log: "sharingd[368]: SDSharePointBrowser::handleEnumerateCallBack returned 2". The iMac also has OS X server installed, but that shouldn't cause any problems here. It worked fine a few weeks ago on another network. The only changes made was removing various shared folders that were added. I am able to connect to my MacBook Pro from the MacBook Air. Please advise, thanks.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    Just happened to me too now when trying to connect to a Mac on the local network that was just waked from sleep. The computer I'm connecting from was also just woken from sleep. Both computers (the one I'm connecting from and the one I'm connecting too) is running OS X 10.10.5, so the problem has been around for a while it seem. A solution that worked for me was to relaunch the Finder in the computer I'm connecting from, i.e. go to the Apple menu and ”Force Quit…” then select the Finder and click ”Relaunch”.
