OK… updated the Pi setup as desktop (directly plugged in to router).
Using LXTerminal I ran:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
then
`hostname -I
Revealed 10.1.1.5 169.254.6.235
Now I can ping both those from my Macbook.

I can also VNCviewer in wirelessly too and bring up the raspberryPi homescreen.
But… plugging the ethernet cable directly into my Macbook, gives the same original problem or request timeout.

Am I stuck in some weird connectivity problem between my macbook and the raspberrypi? Can I just connect up the raspberrypi via the router and VNC into it to program it that way? Help!? I’m trying to troubleshoot it but this has me stumped…
