Problem after updating to 1.66

[nanoprobe]

After updating to version 1.66 2 of the computers on my network are no longer seen by Boinctasks. No settings were changed. Checked everything on the 2 missing computers and everything is the same as before. Have no idea what happened.

Most common cause is the Firewall.
Go to Show -> Log and click on Debug Setting.
Check connecting and restart BoincTasks. Check the log

Here is the debug log with notes from me.

I can remote into all of these machines with TeamViewer from home and at work. Any ideas?

Here is the debug log with notes from me.

You need a password file, the BOINC client should create a new one if one is missing.
Best to restart the computer.

no IP found for MAC address means the computer blocks the MAC  - > IP translation.
In this case blank out (remove everthing) the MAC Address field and fill in an IP address in the IP Addres field.

There is a password file on every computer but the passwords have been removed

Not sure what you mean here. Where do I remove the MAC addy and put in an IP addy? Each computer has it's own assigned IP address.
If the BoincTasks find computers option found the computers on my network shouldn't it be able to connect to them?

Interesting, not something I tested, so I'm not sure that will work. So this may cause problems.

Using:
<allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc>
Is the preferred way.

Been doing that since version 1.16. Never had a problem before.

<allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc>

Already tried that. Still will not connect to that host.

Update. Downgraded to version 1.25, no more problems.
