Q: After upgrading to Yosemite computers on my network are not showing up in shared on finder
Hi Everyone!
I have two mac computers and iMac (early 2009 version) and Mac Book Air (late 2010 version). Both are on the latest version of Yosemite 10.10.
Ever since upgrading my computers to this OS, I noticed that the "Shared" section of the finder no longer shows the respective other computer. I can get to the computer by "Go/Connect to Server" and typing in the ComputerName.local. I can also control each other's screen by using screen share, but only via iCloud. Airdrop also works, but in case of one computer AirDrop is not listed in Favorites and works only when I have both launch airdrop at the same time.
What's interesting as well is that my Time Capsule does who up on both computers in the "shared" part of the finder.
Both computers' settings in System Preferences/Sharing have not changed since Mountain Lion.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
