After installing BT Beta the problem continues.  I have found some residual eFMer libs with various object including active loging objects that were not in my data path.  So I uninstalled BT and deleted the two eFMer libs.  I will install from scratch and reconfigure.  I expect it will fix my original problem where other PCs could not find the XP system.  Results will be forthcoming.

I've installed BT Beta 1.38 and I still have the problem displaying the log.  When I right click on  Logging on the Task Bar Move and Close Options are displayed which I think is normal for XP.

[Show]

I'm trying to troubleshoot a connection problem to a XP SP3 system but I am unable to see the log contents.  From the BoincTask 1.32 screen I take the "Show" option and then "Log" option.  The Logging button shows up on the task bar, but when I click on it nothing happens. 

Thank you.

Thank you for your replies.  I went ahead and removed the software from all but one, updated the values of gui_rpc_auth and remote hosts, adjusted the firewall and my new system is connected and working. I only need to monitor from one PC but its good to know that BT will work on the others as well.  Thanks again Pepo & Fred.

I have been away from this project for sometime but now I have another W7 PC on my network to monitor. It occurred to  me today that BoincTasks should only
be installed on the Localhost system that runs BoincTasks and NOT on the systems designated BOINC Client.  If that is the case what is the best way to remove BoincTasks from the systems I want to monitor?  I expect the answer is to use Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\Uninstall program but I've been burned before in making assumptions. I r3ally look forward to getting this to work.  Thanks.

Unable to  connect via BOINC Manager after turning Firewall off on all three systems. Looks like the problem is with BOINC instead of BoincTasks. I can PathPing in one hop to any of the other two systems.

Good morning.

No. When I select either PC (W7 lap top or XP Desktop) ti goes to a "Connecting to PC Name then Disconnected & starts over. The same connecting  -disconnecting process occurs if I use IP address instead of PCname.

I can connect via 'Remote Desktop Connection'.

Could not get BOINCtasks to work again after reinstalling (boinctask64 kept dumping).  Uninstalled 1.16 and installed BT 1.20 which works fine for the localhost. However, my original problem remains:

Firewall settings look good on all three systems. I've uninstalled BOINCTasks from all systems and will install it again on the localhost system only. I'll post an update as soon as I have results.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Please refer to 'above' for additional info?

Thank you,

The IPs and passwords are /have been entered correctly. Still 'Not connected'.

I have the IP of the i7 system in remote_hosts.cfg and the password in gui_rpc_auth.cfg on both remote systems. Is there a position format for either cfg file?

[localhost W7]

I've installed BT and it works great on my localhost (i7 6 core 12 logical processors 24 GB memory, W7).  My network is connected to a PK5000 modem from QWEST.

localhost W7  -- wireless >                             |=> internet      
                                        < wireless --   PK5000   ---ethernet ----   desktop XP
Laptop W7    -- wireless >               

I've installed BT & TThrottle on all three PCs.  I've installed remote_hosts.cfg and gui_rpc_auth.cfg  in both BOINC folders (in Program Files and Program Files (x86)) on both the Laptop and the XP system.

Where do I go from here to resolve this problem?

Thanks,
