Bitcoin Core/Sparrow Help

Trying to get my full node set up and I’m having trouble connecting Core with Sparrow.

I’ll describe my current setup and errors:

“Mac #1” - 2012 MacBook, OS Catalina 10.15.7, Bitcoin Core v24.0.1 Fully Synced

“Mac #2” - 2021 MacBook, OS Sonoma 14.5, Sparrow Wallet

Conf file for Core: server=1 rcpuser=[my username] rcppassword=[my pw] rcpallow=[Mac 2 IP] rcpport=8332

Sparrow server settings: URL: [Mac 1 IP] Port: 8332 Username and Password entered correctly

I’m either getting “connection refused” or sometimes “unexpected file end from server”

Where is my issue?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice I can get!
