Title: Boinctasks not communicating to windows 8
Post by: idahofisherman on January 20, 2014, 10:19:03 PM
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.

Try this: http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/boinc_tasks/manual_net.html (http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/boinc_tasks/manual_net.html)
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!
