I have Boinc 4.56 and Boincview 1.0 in use.

I had to update to Boinc 4.56 as 4.53 was eating my WUs and not returning them if I was not connected to internet.

Since updating both these programs, I cannot use Boincview to remotely view the clients I have installed on other machines on the lan here. Apparently Boinc 4.56 only allows /s and /h at startup and the option to allow remote gui as it used to be no longer exists.

Anyone know what the latest commands are so I can remotely view Boinc on lan machines please? Thanks.

Greg.

Until now port 31416 was used for communication. Starting with version 4.56 that changed to port 1043. Did you choose that port in Boincview?

... and try to use remote_hosts.cfg as described in the BOINC documentation, in the BOINC questions/problems section, BOINC FAQ and BoincView FAQ. ;)

Choose the port where? You didnt HAVE to use 31416 in earlier Boincviews. I used other ports.

Where do you choose the port?

I finally got them to report but I cant remotely tell them to update etc yet.

I already looked in Boinc docs but they only describe what can be done in earlier versions of Boinc which dont apply to this version.

As to Boincview FAQ, it ALSO says to use -allow_remote_gui_rpc which isnt correct as per this version.

I already tried both but neither are updated.


Good news is I just figured it out another way though. Hooray!

Thanks all.

In a Locations where adding new machines takes place, there is an option of file or RPC access and IP/port to specify...
