Since updating to macOS 12.5, I have three different computers which will not allow remote connections on the LAN if the displays are sleeping.
Note, the computers in question all are set for:
• the displays to sleep, but for the system to stay awake
• the computers are set to allow VNC, SMB, and SSH (but none of the services are working remotely unless the machine is physically woke)
• the computers are set to wake for network access
• the problem can be resolved by waking the displays on the systems (requires physical access - which is a pain)
• the computers are responding to pings, until you physically wake the displays - at which time pings temporarily fail until the screen wakes
• this happens on computers that have Lock Screen passwords enabled and computers that do not have Lock Screen passwords enabled
• these computers are all running macOS 12.5
• the computers are intel and M1
• these computers did not exhibit this problem with 12.4
Anyone else have this problem? Better yet, anyone have a fix?
Edit: restarting one, or both machines typically resolves the issue, but not always
