I tryied to monitor a Boinc client on a VB machine via gui_rpc.

I setted on that VB machine a gui_rpc_auth.cfg and remote_hosts.cfg file and <allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc> on cc_config.xml

But when I issued the command line:

[BOINC command dir]boinccmd.exe --host [that VB machine] --passwd [the password setted] --get_tasks (or any other command)

I receive this reply:
can't connect to [that VM machine]

BTW the main PC is a Windows 8.1 with 7.4.26 BM and the VB machine (many attempts with Linux and Windows)

Anyone else has the same problem ?? is there anyone who solved this

Or do I have to submit to the Boinc-alpha test community

The IP address that VirtualBox uses is also a virtual one. It is not the same IP address as the Windows machine has. It will not be on the same network as your normal computer is, not by IP address range and not by network name.

E.g. your normal network may be on 192.168.1.xxx, but the virtual network is on 10.2.0.xxx

there is a lot of information about the network in VirtualBox at https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html

Thanks a lot.

I've resolved with the "bridged network".
Now it works fine
