Unable to connect to Host installed on a Raspberry Pi 5
I have installed TeamViewer V 15.57.3 (DEB) on a Raspberry Pi 5. I have TeamViewer Clients installed on iPhone, iPad, and Windows 11 Laptop. I can not connect to the host from any of those Clients.
I have TCP and UDP ports forwarded, the RPI is connected to the internet and communicating with all apps except TeamViewer. The following text is captured from RPI Terminal;

As you can see, I tried many times to make a connection with no results.
I would appreciate any advice on how to fix the problem.

One more observation. When I bring up Teamviewer on the Raspberry Pi 5, I see a message "Wayland Detected"
From the posts I am seeing, apparently , Teamiewer us not compatible.
Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

I also just checked the TeamViewer Management Console and it shows the raspberry pi is on line.

Hi Bob,
with the shift of Raspberry Pi OS to Debian 12 "bookworm" as basis, the Raspberry Pi desktop now uses Wayland by default when running on Pi 4 or 5 (see https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/bookworm-the-new-version-of-raspberry-pi-os).
However, the new Wayfire compositor from Raspberry Pi OS currently does not implement some functionality which TeamViewer requires for screen sharing.
In order to use TeamViewer to access such a Raspberry Pi, please switch to the traditional X11/Openbox display system using the raspi-config tool:
sudo raspi-config→ 6 Advanced options→ A6 Wayland→ w1 X11and then reboot the system.
Kind regards
