Problem Configuring FAHClient for local LAN

Post by LonePalm »

I am trying to view the folding on the other computers on my LAN. So far I have been unable to get a connection to the other machines.

Take machine 192.168.0.102 for example.

I have verified that the port used by the client is the default, 36330.
There is no password configured.

These are the only items asked for in the configuration on the master FAHClient.
On 192.168.0.102 I have insured that my master computer's IP address (192.168.0.105) can access without a password.

I am obviously missing something but I can't figure out what.

In the Advanced Control, click configure and go to the remote access tab.

Make sure that the IP address restriction is set to allow 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24
Make sure that the Passwordless IP address restriction is also set to allow 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24

Click save and restart the client (Important: these settings won't work without a restart!)
Do the same for all clients

On the master machine, you should now be able to add the remote machine successfully.

The wife is using her machine. I will verify the settings tomorrow morning while she's busy.

The restart might be the problem.
