I am receiving an error "Disconnected - unable to connect to server". See the screenshots for configuration

Why are you entering your IP address in the VNC Username field?
Is that the IP address of the machine you want to connect to? Could you enter that in the "VNC Hostname" field to see if that helps?

Do you have your firewall on? (System Preferences - Security - Firewall). If so, try turning it off as a test.

Ignore the IP. That was removed and the problem still exists. Also, I have checked my firewall and access is set to allow connections

The message indicates that your iPhone device can't establish a connection to your computer using the hostname "Tonys-Macbook.local." for some reason. Could you try replacing this under VNC Hostname with the actual IP address of your computer? (192.168.1.43 is it?)

Could it be that you're attempting to connect to your computer from outside the network where this computer is? If this is the case, you cannot use a local connection like the one you have defined, and you will need to use your public IP address, and also open port 5900 in your router.

Tried replacing with the IP and still no luck. The computer is within the area the phone is located

Please make sure the iPhone is connected to the same WiFi Access point as the computer.

Phone and computer are connected to the same WIFI access point
