allow_remote_gui_rpc

[Mark Brown]

I have 2 of 15 systems that I cant connect to.
They are both XP.  I used the same password and address file as the other systems.
I made sure the firewall was no longer blocking.

I wanted to use the command line parameter to  allow_remote_gui_rpc  so i dont need the address file but cant get boincmgr to recognise any parameters.
I am using boinc 6.10.43

Any help would be appresiated.

I wanted to use the command line parameter to  allow_remote_gui_rpc  so i dont need the address file but cant get boincmgr to recognise any parameters.

That parameter should be recognised by the boinc.exe and not boincmgr.exe so try using it with that there instead.

BTW, you don't even need to run boincmgr on the host if you are going to manage it remotely using BoincTasks (or with a remote boincmgr, for that matter). However, boinctray.exe should be run in addition to boinc.exe to my knowledge.

Mark, in | Show | Computers | check that the password has not become corrupted, and if so, try entering the correct password.

For some reason this happened to me in earlier versions with a machine running XP.
