5.8.11 has been set as the recommended for all platforms. There has been a change that I can not seem to find. 1043 is no longer answering as a remote port. so I can not manage all my systems from a single spot right now. My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 |

OK, changed back, still not allowing me in from a remote computer. Something else seems to have changed. My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 |

Is your firewall blocking BOINC.exe from acting as a server (some firewalls are version sensitive). Have you inspected the gui_auth_rpc.cfg file to see what the password is? If you did not have one of these files, BOINC has now created one for you. BOINC WIKI |

Is your firewall blocking BOINC.exe from acting as a server (some firewalls are version sensitive). Well, let's see, I was running 5.8.8 and it all worked, I am running 5.8.11 it is not working. Window firewall is allowing BOINC through. I telnet to the port I can get to it. So that proves the firewall is not in the way. The passwords have not changed. I was getting on the remote site that the computer name could not connect, so I changed the remote_hosts.cfg to the IP. Now the remote side no longer complains that an unauthorized computer to attempting to attach to it, but it never shows on my side. John, you know I help others in this, and I did try many of the items. I am just a little confused as to why 5.8.8 worked, and 5.8.11 does not. Nothing on my end changed. I was using 1043, I changed to 31416 because you stated it changed (nothing on the download page stated this changed). I was using the previous files, and windows firewall. Nothing changed. Only thing that changed was the BOINC version. Since I can telnet into the client, I know it's open. I am unsure what else would be blocking me. I checked the password files, they did not change. I've done all the troubleshooting we normally do. I've even rebooted a few boxes, along with the one I want to talk to the rest with, and nothing. All are working fine, normally, just remote controlling is not working on the software. My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 |

Actually, I think I found a bug in BoincView. I went and decided to connect via the BOINCManager to each of the computers, once this happened and it worked, then BoincView started populating. So, I am unsure what is new in 5.8.11, I do know it's probably a little more strict. I also purposely use windows firewall scope to only allow computers in my network to be able to attach. Maybe a few things happened during the updates, I do not know everything what windows firewall does, etc., but understand enough to lock down things pretty good. Thanks for being there John. I guess doing part of this while I am a little sick, I should have waited. Maybe what I found above with connecting with the Manager first then seeing if BoincView will populate might help others. I did have to do this to every computer, so something has changed. My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 |

Actually, I think I found a bug in BoincView. Yes, I am having difficulties with BV and one computer (out of 11). That computer also has my VPN software to reach my office. I have blamed the problem on that - in particular, if I connect through the VPN, then BV will find that computer for a while... BOINC WIKI |

if the version 4.45 is no longer accepted so i have a problem here. BOINC v4.45 is still supported (it hasn't been locked out yet), so you may keep using it if it fulfills your needs. Hopefully your problem can be fixed by the developers for an upcoming version. |

Actually, I think I found a bug in BoincView. Don't know if it will help, but Sebastian just released version 1.4.1 of BOINCview today. Looks really good. |

Actually, I think I found a bug in BoincView. Bummer. I'd be somewhat lost without BV. Just curious, what VPN client? We use Extranet and I've had to blame other problems on that one. |

Pooh, 1043 hasn't been used since before 5.3.31(alpha build)/I think 5.2.13 recommended release, but not sure on that one), since then it's been 31416. Anyway, it's been a while (sometime back when classic closed). |

Well, I can't live without my BV! So I'm looking to try to understand, in summary: 5.8.11 forces the new port (like others, I have 5.8.8 working fine via BV and port 1043, multiple machines, so it seems to be the first to force it). OK, very good to know in advance. PoohBear, do I understand right that BV seems to not connect unless you first make a connection via BoincMgr? Was this on *all* your several machines? If not all are affected, what fraction? Does this 'wear off', and require further priming at some point? JM7 seems to have said that 1 in 11 of his machines would not connect, unless similarly 'primed' by activity on his VPN client. This means 10/11 (with no VPN) are just fine with BV? And does the priming action wear off on the one? Just trying to get an idea if I want to make the leap from 5.8.8 anytime soon. Don't want to if BV will likely be broken, or require workarounds and handholding...... thx for any clarifications/corrections. Dave |

Well, I can't live without my BV! So I'm looking to Yes, 10 out of 11 are fine. The one that requires a VPN connection only wears off if either BOINC or BOINC View is exited. (I have a distinct feeling that it is the VPN software that is the problem). BOINC WIKI |

I had to log into all 5 machines (local machine was fine) with BoincManager first to get BoincView to populate. I am unsure I HAD to do this, but it was something that seemed to work. There may have been other circumstances around all the actions I did, but that is something that seems to triggered the ability for BoincView 1.4.1 to work.
