System Icon Viewed on Network
I'm on a new M2Pro Mini with Ventura 13.2.1. When I look at this system in Finder from another Mac on my network (an Intel Mini running Monterey 12.6.3) the icon shown on the other Mac is a question mark in the main Finder window and as a document icon in the sidebar. I'm able to open the connection OK, but what's the problem here? Is this Ventura not correctly letting the Monterey-based system know what hardware it's on, or do the older-than-Ventura macOS systems not recognize this new hardware?
I don't believe you. Picture, please. ;-)
Well, dirty-word! Now that I go to get a picture for you it is now WORKING! I had seen this issue from a different Mac with a much older OS (El Cap) while I was transferring my stuff from that system to this new one, but I didn't post then because of the age difference between the OSs. I posted this time because I was seeing the same behavior from a much newer macOS version. Silly me, I didn't give the system time to think about what it was seeing and posting the appropriate icon.
So, nothing to see here, and I apologize for wasting everyone's time.

And........ now it's back to where I started. Here's what I'm seeing in Finder on the Montery system. seattle is the M2Pro Mini, paloma is an Intel MBP, and tombstone is an Intel Mini. Only seattle is running Ventura. I should have taken a screenshot when it appeared to be working, but I THOUGHT IT WAS WORKING!! Anyway, ideas anyone?
I have a suspicion but need to confirm something before I post a lengthy dense response...
If you change the view from "as List" to "as Icons", etc. does the icon change? If so, post screenshot.
What icon do you see when your right-click on "seattle" in the sidebar and choose "Get Info" ? Should be the same as icon when you choose "as Icons".
