Screen sharing between my iMac and Mac Mini stopped working after I applied the 10.10.2 update. I'm trying to access the Mac Mini from the iMac. I get the standard error message advising that I should check the Mac Mini is on the network etc. etc.
File sharing works well. I can copy files between the two Macs and can move and delete files on the Mac Mini. I always access Screen Sharing using the same user credentials as for File Sharing.
I have tried:
The iMac is connected to the router by cable; the Mac Mini is connected by wifi.
Screen sharing worked under 10.10 and 10.10.1. Now it doesn't. I haven't played with settings except as stated above.
Does anyone have any ideas ? This has me totally stumped.

I have tried:
- Turned Screen Sharing off then on again on the Mac Mini.
- Checked the IP address many times.
- Invoked Screen Sharing using the application (in CoreServices), the Connect to Server dialog (command-k) and the Network dialog (command-shift-k).
- My Mac Mini does appear under “Sharing” in the sidebar suggesting (with the working file sharing) that this is not a networking issue.
- Reinstalled 10.10.2 using the combo updater.
- Adding port 5900 to the vac command (i.e. vnc://nnn.nnn.n.nnn:5900).
- Deleted the screen sharing prefs files (on the iMac).
- Deleted relevant entries in my KeyChain (in the hope SS would pop a login dialog - but it didn’t).
- Made sure the Mac Mini is awake.
- Checked logs but can find nothing at all on Screen Sharing.
- Installed the ARD update on both machines.
- Checked Firewall settings - Screen sharing is specifically allowed (and there are no other sharing functions blocked).
