Two easy solutions

First, make sure that Ethernet is listed FIRST on both machines. This
might solve the issue right there.  If not, use the LAN IP port for the
Ethernet connection to connect, this also might work.

If it does not work, the easiest solution is to turn off the wifi on the
older machine.

Unless you want to wire both machines to Ethernet, which is of course
the best solution but may not be the easiest.
