First of all read the first part of the http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/boinc_tasks/manual.html
First try if BoincTasks runs on your local machine.
A) Enable logging in BoincTasks.
Take the file log.xml, found here: C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\examples\log
And copy it to C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\log
Change:
<connecting> 1 </connecting>
So make sure there is a 1 = enabled.
Go to Show->Log and check "Enable debug mode".
Exit BoincTasks and start it again.
B) Try to use FIXED (STATIC) IP addresses first, as of 1.54 a MAC address may be used, to allow dynamic IP addresses. How to use dynamic IP addresses
C) If you use the remote computer name instead of the IP address, don't forget to add the right name, to the remote_hosts.cfg file on your remote computer. Use net view (on the command prompt) on both computers to check if the names are recognized. (Don't add the \\). But names are not recommended, try to use static IP addresses.
D) Make sure you left the port column, next to the IP Address, empty in the computers window. Unless you know exactly, why you changed the default port number.
E) Goto the command prompt and Ping your remote computer. Like ping 192.168.10.11 and ping the computer from the other side as well.
F) Keep an eye on the messages, on the remote computer. The BOINC log on the remote machine will show any refused connections.
G) Enable logging in BoincTasks in menu Help->Show log Check "Enable debug mode". In computers only select one computer and restart BoincTasks. Try to connect to that computer and watch the logging.
H) Make sure the firewall is open on both computers, for the port You use. The default port is 31416 (Pi).
Normally this involves, adding the BOINC client (C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinc.exe and BOINC Tasks (C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\boinctasks(64).exe) to the trusted program list. (or Applications Rules).
I) If you are using a local computer, disconnect the router from the Internet, and give BoincTasks unrestricted access. (In other words, disable the firewall on all systems)
J) Add the computer name of the control computer to the remote_host.cfg as well as the IP address. One on each line.
The file is usually located here: C:\ProgramData\BOINC
J) And don't forget, the Boinc client MUST be restarted after every change you made. The best way, is to simply restart the remote computer, after the changes in the password and access file are saved.
K) At this point it's more convenient, but not necessary, when TThrottle is running on the remote computer(s). BoincTasks, from the menu Show->Computers, next Computes -> Find computers. The Address: should be the first one in the net, like 192.168.1.1. Press "Scan address range".
