Hi all

Have a weird problem here. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

I am running boinc on 2 PCs. My main pc is running windows XP and I have a second PC running Debian Linux with no GUI.

I am trying to configure it so that I can see stats etc on the linux system from my windows pc.

To start boinc on the linux box I am using the command
./boinc -allow_remote_gui_rpc&

If I use the command
./boinc_cmd --host 10.0.0.249 --passwd xxx --get_state
I see the stats fine. If I use the command with IP 10.0.0.246 I can see the stats on my windows PC fine.

If I use the above command on the widows box to try and see the stats from the linux side I get an error:
Connect: no error
can't connect to 10.0.0.249

I have tried telnet to port 1043 from the windows PC to check if the port is open and I do get a connection with a message <boinc_gui_rpc_reply>. Obviously I cant do anything more from here as anytime I press a key I get a message <unauthorised>.

I have checked the netstat -l on the linux box and port 1043 is being listened to.

I have tried this with and without the remote_hosts.cfg on the linux box. I have started boinc as a normal user as well as root. Have started it in background mode (&) as well as in daemon mode (--daemon). I have now run out of ideas. :(


Can anyone help?

Thanks
Richard

Just an update. Have installed boinc on a second pc running win98. I can connect to that fine from my XP machine. I have noticed though that the win98 machine is waiting for connections on port 31416. The linux machine is only listening for connections on port 1043.

Any ideas?

Thx
Richard

Fixed it!!! :D

I was running version 5.3.28 on the PCs and Version 5.2.13 on linux. This linux version does not have the option to change what port it listens on. I upgraded the linux version to 5.3.28 and used the following command ro start it

./boinc -allow_remote_gui_rpc -gui_rpc_port 31416&

After this is not works 100%

Boinc uses Ports

boinc.exe needs internet access on ports 80 and 443 and local access (127.0.0.1) on ports 1043 and 31416.
boincmgr.exe, boinccmd.exe and boinc.scr need local access on ports 1043 and 31416.

boincmgr.exe, boinccmd.exe and boinc.scr need local access on ports 1043 and 31416.

That's true for BOINC 5.2.x
With the upcoming BOINC 5.4.0 (and thus all the alpha/beta tests 5.3.x inbetween), the only port used is 31416. 1043 is no longer in use, due to theft by other programs.

Thanks for the update, I'll add that to my cheat notes.
