Hi all.. Newbie here.. Chris from New Zealand. About time I joined this forum, think I could have saved myself a lot of grief over the years!!!

I have a late 2013 27inch iMac running Catalina 10.15.4

I have a HDD plugged in to my router and have set it up for file sharing / streaming movies. 1 MBP and a Windows 10 PC regularly connect and share files and up until now, so has my iMac... Until i restarted it...

I can connect to the drive via IP address (Connect to server), but it refuses to accept the password. I have changed the admin PW and the Share PW twice on the router and restarted both times. Ive also cleared the respective key chain in the iMac, but i still get that bloody wrong details "wobble" from the PW box...

After the PW changes I can connect to the HDD from my MBP by entering the new PW.. It connects NP.

All PC/MAC connect to the router wirelessly.

So what the hell is going on with the iMac?? Any ideas??
