I have a Windows 8.1 machine running 7.6.33 (x64) and a raspberry pi running 7.4.23. Both should be the latest versions. On the Pi I edited gui_rpc_auth.cfg to have one line with a password. I also edited remote_host.cfg to have one line with the IP of my Windows machine. I restarted the client. And later the Pi. On the Windows machine I try to attach the BOINC Manager to the Pi. I enter the Pi's IP and the password from the gui_rpc_auth.cfg. Whatever I try the client always gives "connecting to..." -> "connection closed" -> "connecting to..." -> "connection closed". I disabled the windows firewall to be sure. I then modified cc_config.xml on both ends to have <gui_rpc_debug>1</gui_rpc_debug>. The results are a bit long. I don't know how I can add a file here so I just show what I think is relevant. Can anyone help me out? The socket is closed for some reason but I really have no clue.

The communication is two way, not just in one direction. ID: 80092 ·

Hmmm, not sure what you say is correct or if we are understanding each other correctly. I want to monitor the Pi from the desktop. Why does the Pi's need to be in the desktop cfg file? Anyway, I'm off hiding in the corner of shame. Turns out that I have been messing around with remote_host.cfg instead of remote_hosts.cfg. It all works as it should now. Thanks for having a look at my stupidity! ID: 80094 ·
