How to remote view OSX machine from Fedora with TigerVNC












0














I understand the I can use VNC protocol for remote viewing.



There is a mac on my network which has VNC enabled. I have downloaded TigerVNC



dnf install tigervnc


I get the IP address of host I want to view



host hostName


And then type userName@hostIpAddress into the field in the screen shot and press connect but I'm not able to connect.



enter image description here
when I press connect I get message




unable to resolve host by name: Name or service not known.
