I have done everything in FAQ and manual but have no connection. Situation:
BoincTasks runs on 192.168.1.13 a Windows 7 32 bit PC.
I am not successful ADDing laptop 192.168.1.11 a Windows XP 64 bit machine on which BOINC runs as a service. BoincTasks is not installed on this PC. The two required files are present in BOINC Data directory D:\BOINC. BOINC program is installed in C:\ProgramFiles(x86). I've established a BOINC exception in Windows Firewall (desperation measure - not sure this is necessary). There is no BoincTasks indication it has seen the BOINC installed on laptop.
I've given BoincTasks the ip address (x.x.x.11). I cut and pasted the password found in laptop's gui_rpc_auth.cfg into BoincTasks.
The two PC's see each other in Browser service on my WiFi network. I have not shared the C: drive on either PC. The user for both PCs is an administrator.
BoincTasks FAQ says "More information about why a connection is lost can be found in the computers tab." I did not see a "Computers" tab in the FAQ. "Adding Computers" in the manual was not helpful to my issue.
Summarizing -- I'm out of ideas to find the problem. Please suggest.
