2 Mac's Not Connecting to Each Other over WiFi - Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68)

Thanks for responding. I've tried disabling router firewall, both mac firewalls and Malwarebytes on both machines. No VPN or any 3rd party utilities installed. Both machines return the following error

"There was a problem connecting to the server “Macbook_Air_M2”.

"The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."

Both machines return the following error

Further Update: Ok, I got connection between computer to work and now get an error when trying to access folders "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Folder Name*” can’t be found."

*replaced actual folder name.

Update: On a whim, I tried Screen Sharing and for some reason THAT works.
