Lost ability to ping server after upgrade to Tahoe 26.5

Topic starter  

I have a simple config with a pair of NFS mounts from a NAS that's been working fine for a while. Last night I upgraded to 26.5, and now I can't mount anything. If I go into the UI and try to ping the server from the "Shares" screen, I get a message saying the ping failed. I can ping the server (by address in both cases) from a terminal window. It seems like some security setting is preventing the app from pinging (and perhaps from accessing the network altogether) but I didn't intentionally change anything and I'm not seeing anything in system settings that looks like it would be causing this. Happy to try things to troubleshoot the issue if needed.

Sorry to hear you're running into an issue.

I've just tested it on my Mac, also just upgraded tot 26.5, and PING just works in ConnectMeNow.
Odd that you are running into this issue, but ... not a surprise with how Apple changes things every now and then.

This could indeed be a security setting on your Mac.

Check if Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network -> ConnectMeNow4.app is listed and enabled.
Oddly enough it is listed twice in my settings.

ConnectMeNow is also found under "Automation" and "Files & Folders".

Did any of this fix the issue?
(restarting ConnectMeNow is probably needed, maybe a reboot may clear things)
