1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : boincmgr.exe --namehost or /n does not work on Windows

I have not been able to get the --namehost or /n flags to work on my computer running a VM and trying to connect to the boinc running inside the VM

Connecting through the Manager gui "File -> Select Computer" works fine

if I attempt to connect to the VM from my Linux Mint machine using the correct syntax for linux: boincmgr -n 192.168.2.22, it does connect properly

Neither the current version 7.12.1 nor the previous 7.10.2 work

my command line is pretty simple: C:\Archives\Boinc\boincmgr.exe /n 192.168.2.22
C:\Archives\Boinc\boincmgr.exe --namehost=192.168.2.22 does not work either

I have used the --verbose flag and it does not seem to work either as none of the err files are showing anything unless they are meant for the client not the manager, but I get no errors at all on the screen using either command-line. However if I type the flag wrong, it will give me a popup and tell me the argument

I'm getting the same issue on my Debian based clients (VMs)

My computers are on an internal subnet 192.168.x.x

Why are ip addresses listed as from france being shown instead of the real ip address? I use BoincTasks to monitor my clients and before I added the IP of the computer runing BT, I would get these errors
