Hello,
i have a problem with Boinc remote.
First machine with Win 7 and Boinc 6.12.33
second machine Win XP x64 also Boinc 6.12.33
Its no problem to connect from second machine to first machine... works perfect.
But other way i'm not able to get a connection.... status line switches between connect to PC2.... disconnected... connect to PC2... disconnected.
In Win 7 i allow Boinc.exe and Boincmgr.exe incomming and outgoing traffic...
On second machine i type devicename and local IP address in the remote_hosts.cfg
I have no idea whats the problem can be...
Pleas help !
:)

Have you put in the GUI RPC password for the other host?

You need to set up the remote_hosts.cfg on both machines, both should contain the devicename or IP address of the other machine.

Yes, was already done... but no connection. This is really crazy...

OK, explain how you set up BOINC on both systems. Service installation (protected application execution) or not?
Which firewalls do we have to compete with on both systems?

Are directories shared between the two systems?
Did you set up (simple) printer & file sharing on both systems?

Does BOINC on the machine you want to access, show anything in the logging.
(Control Shift E)
Like refused......
In the same log should GUI RPC allowed from:
Your remote IP address should be in the list.
And is you IP address static or dynamic.

Installed Boinc with the installer, made no changes...

Windows Firewall

Are directories shared between the two systems?

no, i use Teamfiewer to control second machine, so i can transfer files via Teamviewer.

Did you set up (simple) printer & file sharing on both systems?

yes i think, its standard set up from Windows
( remember, connection from second machine to first machine works fine... no problem.)

no

And is you IP address static or dynamic.

It comes from router via DHCP, but because both machines are alway running it changes never.

It seems to point to the firewall that blocks the RPC requests.

You could disconnect from the Internet (remove the cable from the the Internet Router) and disable the Windows firewall to see if this is the case.

Because you should see a message in the log if the IP address isn't allowed or if the Password is incorrect.

And I assume you restarted the BOINC client or even better rebooted the system.

I think you are right.... after reboot Win 7 it works.... !?
