Boinctasks not communicating to windows 8

[idahofisherman]

Boinctasks not communicating with Windows 8 machine.  Don't know if this is boinctask problem or windows 8 problem.

Both boinc and tthrottle are running okay on windows 8 machine and communicating via the internet.  The windows machiine is not talking to the boinctasks machine (XP3).   

Have set remote_hosts.cfg  file and gui_rpc_auth.cfg file correctly on the windows 8 machine and added the computer name and ip address to boinctasks machine.

I have rebooted both machines and they do not communicate via boinctasks.  I am using the lastest beta tthrottle and the latest beta boinc  and boinctasks 1.58.

Any help would be appreciated.

The BoincToolbox is for solving problems.

It should work just fine with Win 8, it's fully tested that way.

Most likely a firewall that blocks something.
Are they both on the same IP net and using IPv4?

Turned out to be firewall problem as RPC was not turned on.

Thanks Fred!
