Cannot connect to Rock from Mac Mini

Hi. I have a mac mini running macOS 26.2 (25C56) Kernel Version: Darwin 25.2.0. I have a Roon Rock running on a Nuc12 in a fanless chasis that has worked solid for years. The Roon rock is OS Version 1.0 (build 259) production and Server Version 2.57 (build 1598) production. The Roon on the Mac Mini is the latest version. All of a sudden in the last day or two the Roon on my mac mini stopped connecting to the Roon server. I can still connect to the server from another computer on same lan or from ARC but just not from that Mac Mini. From the mac mini I can still connect to the web interface and to the data drive just not the server. I am not running a firewall, I tried with and without Little Snitch on, I tried rebooting the Rock, I tried deleting and re-installing the Roon app on the mac. No luck. Any suggestions?

Tried this?

Thank you so much. There must have been an update last night. The server was still allowed which is why my other devices could connect but not the Mac Mini. Appreciate your help.

I’m not sure if sometimes the permission gets lost even without an update, or what else the causes are. I run Roon GUI on macOS (MacBook Air M2) and server on ROCK, and as far as I can recall I had to do this once when Sequoia was new and then one more time after some later Sequoia update, when it showed me a prompt after a macOS reboot. Maybe one more time when I got a prompt after updating to Tahoe. But I don’t think I ever had to repeat it intermittently and without being prompted by macOS.
