Problem with Terminal - Page 2
Solved

I've searched well... and found a flaw.
- when I'm in the current configuration (Ethernet)
I can access my iMac from my MacBook
I have access to the Asus
the Asus does not have access to my iMac
the MacBook has access to my iMac with some alerts but it works
- I switched to WIFI on my iMac and there I have afp and smb://iMac-de-Laurent-2.home
the network has "doubled" the address of my iMac and in this configuration I have access to both computers in both directions.
- I conclude that the problem comes from the MAC or IP address under Ethernet.
Remember; when I brought up the issue I had:
iPhone-de-Laurent in the Terminal
and iPhone-de-Laurent.local in "Sharing"
I changed the name to "iMac de Laurent" in the "Terminal" by a sudo action......
I changed the name to "iMac de Laurent.local" in "Sharing"
BUT without making any changes to the MAC or IP address.
It's like renaming my car from "DS4" to "Twingo" without modifying "the engine".
Armed with this observation, QUESTION
Having spotted the MAC and IP addresses of my iMac WHERE and HOW to remove the MAC and IP addresses of my iPhone to replace them with those of my iMac.
Because, there, there shouldn't be - I think - a problem anymore.
What do you think?
Your insight will be welcome

The last screen shows my MacBook in Ethernet; it indicates an address afp:// or smb:// Mac-Book-Pro-1.home; when it switches from WiFi to Ethernet it changes the MAC and/or IP address.

Hello,
the MAC addresses are different between WIFI and Ethernet. This is normal, and you can check it in the About This Mac / System Report / Network / Configuration menu...
What you could try is to put your Mac in WIFI only mode, with the Ethernet cable unplugged from the Mac, check in Sharing, the name of your computer, then do the opposite, connect the Ethernet and disable WIFI, check the name of your computer again...
Additionally, make sure that in WIFI mode, your iPhone is not acting as an internet hotspot... at some point, you may have allowed internet connection sharing on your iPhone, and this network may be saved on the Mac...

All the proposed manipulations confirm what you are writing and have been the subject of my screenshots.
I only used "Orange" as an internet access point on my MacBook during a trip, which I deleted, but this does not affect the functioning on my MacBook (see last screenshot).
So my question is indeed formulated in my last message:
"Having identified the MAC and IP addresses of my iMac, WHERE and HOW do I delete the MAC and IP addresses of my iPhone to replace them with those of my iMac?
Because, there, I don't think there will be a problem anymore."
It's your technical expertise that is speaking now that the diagnosis has been made, as personally, I don't know how to do it.
Thank you in advance
and have a good evening

:)))
You trust me too much ;-)
But I will think about it... in the meantime, if it hasn't been done already, uncheck the option to remember networks in System Preferences / Network... on each of your devices:
I will dig deeper on my side...
EDIT: and as much as possible, disable Bluetooth on your iPhone and Mac, at least for testing...
Hello,
Perseverance always pays off. After my diagnosis and a few hours of trial and error, I started from scratch and went back up the chain;
So the very beginning is the Livebox; I did a "reset" and checked/assigned the IP addresses of my devices.
I then went to "Network Configuration" and clicked "Automatic." And there were no more conflicts! In "System Preferences," "Sharing,"
1. I confirmed the firewall identity between the "Computer Name" and access via afp://...... and smb://.......
2. I took the opportunity to update "Users and Groups," and after that, I can access both my computers (MacBook Pro and Asus), and each of them can access "iMac" and "MacBook Pro" or "Asus."
Q.E.D.
In the meantime, a very big thank you to you and Ritchi for your assistance and support (technical and moral).
Have a great weekend, all the best, and see you soon on the line
