4.   If the Firewall is turned on open Option and Ensure the app is authorized to connect to the local network.

Reference:

  • Control access to your local network on Mac

If the firewall is active, it may block some local network connections. You need to configure it to allow traffic for the required applications.

1.   Open System Settings.

2.   Go to Network.

3.   Select Firewall.

4.   Click Options if the firewall is turned on.

5.   Ensure the application is listed and allowed to accept incoming connections.
