Re: mac os/vnc viewer and BAP forced hotspot

Hi Tim,

I have used VNC on my OSx system in the following way. I hard wired my Mac to my router, and connected my WiFi setting to the Pi's SSID.? This worked flawlessly for me.

Hope you get this resolved sir!

Tnx,
73, Phil -KF6IF

So, this question is for Mac OS users...
I'm having a VNC Viewer issue on *only my Mac-to-forced-hotspot connection. I get a "no route to the host is known" error.
When I try connecting to the forced-hotspot-pi from my windows laptop (and even chromebook), however, it works flawlessly.

Just curious if any Mac users have bumped into this, and if I'm missing a step somewhere. I should also add that under normal circumstances, VNC Viewer on my Mac works great. I can connect to my BAP Pi no problem, ... and indeed, I constantly have 2 other Pis running (OMV, and PLEX), and VNC Viewer connects to them with no issues.?

The issue seems to be limited to the BAP Pi in forced-hotspot mode.

I appreciate any thoughts on this.
