I'm very familiar with TV on both Mac and PC.
On the SAME wifi network, I have a Windows11Home and a Mac.
(The PC is a new rog typical gaming laptop, everything working perfectly, the MAc is a new M2 mac, everything working perfectly.)
I can connect using LAN mode from the PC to the Mac perfectly
I can connect from the Mac to the PC, using non-LAN mode perfectly. (id/pass)
Indeed I can easily connect to the PC from computers elsewhere, celluar etc.
I have the firewall TOTALLY DISABLED / TURNED OFF COMPLETELY on the PC. And indeed same on the Mac. Restarted etc many times.
Note that it makes no difference at all if you use the "LAN" or "LAN only" choice, tried both, all combinations.
No matter WHAT I try I just get … could not connect to partner.
Funnily enough I have TWO DIFFERENT wifi networks in the house, exactly the same situation with either wifi network. (Obviously having the two machines on the same one.)
What can possibly be causing this infuriating problem??
Again this has nothing to do with the lan/lan-only choice, tried all combos.
Firewall is totally TURNED OFF!
any ideas?
thanks, JP
