I am having more success now (possibly after some recent RPiOS updates) with WayVNC in use with TigerVNC Viewer. I have set up two RPi5s interconnected only with an Ethernet cable. The cable is straight pin for pin type, not a crossover one. I set up the two RPis with fixed IP addresses (169.254.159.20 and .21 as it happens). I installed TigerVNC Viewer on the ‘command’ unit (using ‘sudo apt install tigervnc-viewer’) and the link and screen sharing is working well. Pinging the link gives a time of 0.25 secs which roughly corresponds to the cursor movement lag time. I was able to operate both RPis with attached monitors, keyboards and mice until everything was working and I’d satisfied myself that nothing changed during multiple reboots, before running the ‘controlled’ RPi at a distance and ‘headless’.
I’ve found it extraordinarily difficult to find information about using the Network Manager menus to set up a straight wired Ethernet link. I wouldn’t call the GUI ’intuitive’ but I seem to have got there in the end.
