I used to work on my Rpi zero on same windows 10 laptop via both remote desktop connection and VNC viewer. There was no issue at all. Then I didn't use my RPi for few months, and after that it won't connect at all.

I am doing all the things same as I did previously, all same steps in accessing RPi wirelessly. SSh done, Wpa supplicants file correct, same OS on my SD card (Raspbian).

These details are from my windows 10 laptop, wifi/LAN details:

   NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

I did find my RPi address using "advanced IP scanners" and it came out to be the same as i was using before hand: 172.20.10.2 Then I loaded details on putty.exe (even enabled X11), but that loading leads to timing out error.

the cmdline.txt is as follows: dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=9cbe82b0-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles

I used to work using VNC viewer and even using remote desktop connection, but now none is able to connect my RPi to my laptop.

I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

  • You seem to have a mix of IP address 172.x.x.x and 192.x.x.x in your post - is this correct? If not can you please edit the post to show the correct data and put the output in a code block to simplify reading. Thanks

  • How do you get the Details? Haven't seen that before on Raspbian.

  • Are the details in the question from your PC (looks Windows 10)? If so I cannot see how you are doing a scan on the 172 network unless the gateway at 192.168.43.187 is doing it.

I found my error. I was scanning for wrong ip address range in the 'advanced ip scanner'. Thank you @Andyroo , i found my answer in your reply. I'm a beginner in this, so that's why I couldn't figure out such a minute problem.
