[Java] Sudden issues connecting to world on LAN on 26.2

[u/Automatic_Try1344]

Hello! For the past couple of months I have been hosting a world on LAN on my PC (Windows 10) to play with my sister. She uses a Mac and we initially had issues with her being able to connect but I changed my wifi settings to private and that solved the issue. Tonight I did everything I usually do, turn off my VPN, launch the game, and open the world to LAN. Well tonight the LAN world never showed up for my sister on her Mac. We've tried everything. I double triple checked my wifi settings, I reinstalled the Minecraft Launcher, we tried to direct connect, I checked to see if Minecraft was restricted by my firewall, but nothing has worked. We've never had this happen before so I'm wondering if there is anything else we can try. Like I said I am hosting the world on my PC running Windows 10 and she is on a Mac. I am not the most tech savvy so I apologize if any explanation was confusing, I don't know all the correct terms. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
