I have a raspberry pi 0 w with Raspbian Bullseye 4.1. Using version 3.0 of Rasbian, I could connect the Pi to my network and access files on other computers that were also connected to the network. When I upgraded to 4.1 and tried viewing files on another computer, it tried for a long time and then told me the connection timed out. How can view the files on other computers on my network.

Please edit your question and tell us how you used to connect to other computers, such as SAMBA, sftp, ftp, NFS, or something else? We will need those settings too.– user68186Commented Apr 2, 2022 at 22:32

What on earth is "Raspbian Bullseye 4.1"?– MilliwaysCommented Apr 3, 2022 at 0:02

If you are addressing other computers by hostname you may need to add the suffix .local to the hostname in bullseye– Drdrm46Commented Apr 3, 2022 at 9:08

Your question suggests that you may be confused with some of the fundamentals of operating your Raspberry Pi. I also have a RPi 0W, and it works fine - except for the fact that it is now quite slow.
We don't know how you upgraded, so it seems likely you may have made a mis-step during that process. Perhaps the best route to recovery is to do a fresh installation - i.e. install on a new SD card. The fresh install has the advantage that any files or data on your current SD card can be easily recovered & transferred to your new card once your system is up and running.
The best place for you to start may be in the "Official Documentation" - the Getting Started - Installing the Operating System will walk you through all the steps. There are many alternatives to this procedure, but save those for another time.
You'll need to choose an image to install. Given the 0W has limited resources, I'd suggest you use one of the Lite distributions: either bullseye - or buster.
Good luck, and feel free to post additional questions if you run into difficulties. There's a guide for posting questions here: How do I ask a good question?. Please give that a read.
