I've recently installed BOINC 6.4.7 (running LHC & E@H) on my "new" laptop.  It works well.  The only downside is that the machine sure gets warm. [EMO]bigsmile.gif[/EMO]

However, I can't get BOINCView to monitor it.  The machine name (in BOINCView) has a red circle with a white x in it.  (When a machine cannot be contacted, a red question mark is displayed.)  I don't see anything in any log that would indicate what the problem is.  I've set it up similar to my other local network machine which is running Win98SE and BOINC 5.4.x and that machine is monitored properly, as is the local BOINC 6.4.7.

Bah humbug!

This is the reason for asking questions to an august audience like this.  I had the 2 files, remote_hosts.cfg and gui_rpc_auth.cfg in both the BOINC program folder and the data folder.  I had been manipulating the one in the program folder.  The gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in the data folder had a bad password in it.  As soon as I fixed that and restarted BOINC, BOINCView picked up the machine.

Thank you.

The BOINCView Wiki needs to be modified to reflect the current version of the program.  It is oriented about 2 versions back. [EMO]sad.gif[/EMO] Also, the new BOINC, with the data split out is what actually caused me the problem.
