The Macbook sees the mini in the cluster (2 nodes, both listed) but the mini can't see the macbook (1 node, only itself listed).

To make things more intersting - the macbook tiny chat doesn't work, but the mini does, Macbook shows the start of the prompt response generation in the terminal, then hangs:

How are they networked? Is this over WiFi?

I have the same issue as you, however I used thunderbolt5 to connect them. Here is how I addressed this issue:

1. Select System Settings - Network - Set Service Order
2. Make sure the method you connected your device as the first priority.
   Hope that helps!
