I installed Raspbian on the Pi's SD card, and got the Raspberry Pi Zero to successfully boot up and connect to my home network via Ethernet (I don't have the Raspberry Pi Zero W, but instead the model without Wi-Fi).
I managed to SSH onto the Raspberry Pi with PuTTY, and when I tried to access the Pi via VNC, the connection just times out. I don't know why I would be able to connect to the Pi via PuTTY and not VNC.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening?
