Was forced to update to 20.04 which found solution to resolving/loading bug:
alter file /etc/systemd/resolved.conf to: LLMNR=yes MulticastDNS=yes create file /etc/systemd/network/wifi.network with contents: [Match] Name=wlp3* [Network] DHCP=yes LLMR=yes MulticastDNS=yes followed by: sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd sudo systemctl start systemd-networkd to fix smb loading in 'Network/Entire Network' of condition for listed 'smb://Stevens-Mac-Mini.local:445/' Unable to Mount Folder Could not connect to the server for this folder.

Two tries, Elementary OS 6, Ubuntu 20.04 installs both have identical problem. Resolved by reinstalling Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Using different kernels doesn't matter. Specific problem is with afp protocol name resolution. Searching local network for ip address using afp://ip_address did connect, but using GUI Files/Other Locations/Networks with named hosts will not. Always returns can't resolve hostname.local. Tried multiple edits of different network files, even installed netatalk in attempts. Again, solution is to go back to downgrade, works right out of the box, as did on another, and this before upgrade. This was only attempted with 2 other computers, one mac, one ubuntu/elementary.
