Re: Remote Access not working properly

There were some changes made to FAHClient around the time of the release of the 7.6.9 Client. I don't remember if was before or after that release but the changes were backed-out and are no longer in the latest beta versions. Two things you can try: Use a password and/or try the latest beta version of the client from https://foldingathome.org/beta/

My connection is working, and it BOTH configs it looks like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- Remote Command Server -->
<command-allow-no-pass v="127.0.0.1,192.168.1.0/24"/>
<password v="*******"/>
(where the two passwords match.) ... and restart the client after you make any changes.
I know it's redundant to say ...allow-no-pass.... and to provide a password, but this was configured many client versions ago and it's still working. (And I don't have the added complexity of having a to hop across some kind of inter-router tunnel.

If neither of those steps help, I would physically move both computers onto the same LAN and make it work there before separating them, but the telnet instructions above should have demonstrated that you don't need to do that.
