lost home network in Mint 20.3

[dduran1210]

I lost my home network. I cannot file share to my other computers on it anymore. Don't know what happened.
I rebooted and still cannot access home network.
i get these messages:

error: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection refused.

execution of Cinnamon-settings network failed.
failed to execute child process "cinnamon-settings" (No such file or directory)

can anyone help?

What sort of networking?

[dduran1210]

home network 2 computers connected

[donten]

Avahi, Samba, or something else? Did you set it up, or was it a default type of networking?

Can you ping from each computer by up address?

Code: Select all

ifconfig

will give the IP address.

Retry smb://10.0.0.252/? Your extra space looks suspicious.
