newbie: can't connect via VNC
#1
I have just set up openPlotter v 0.17 and all seems to work fine with an HDMI monitor and usb keyboard.

I also have an RCA Gallileo Pro tablet on which I have a couple of VNC viewers installed. These both work when I use them to connect to my windows laptop.

However, when I try to connect to RPI I get an error along the lines of "computer domain name could not be resolved"

I am using the IP address 192.168.1.65 as shown in my wifi status. I am connected to an external wifi router. I have good internet access from the RPI, and I can also connect to it using Filezilla from my laptop, using the same IP address. I have enabled the 'accept connections' in the openPlotter tab.

But I cannot get through on the VNC, nor on an RDP client. The clients do not seem to have an option for changing the port. If i go to the x11vnc app, the port is set as 5900 (I also tried 5901). It is set to accept connections.

So what else do I try?

UPDATE:
Ok, just installed bVNC on my tablet. Now I CAN connect, so I guess just the clients I had didn't work here. But how do I set the resolution of the screen so that it fits on my tablet screen? IS it possible to have one size resolution on my HDMI monitor and a different size on the VNC connected tablet?

Thanks

Noel
