I can't seem to add any clients to my Client Advanced Control list.
I enter the name and IP address then click [Save] it will show up on the list but not exit the config window.
Then after closing the Client Advanced Control and re-opening, the new client is gone.
I've checked the [C:\ProgramData\FAHClient] for the FAHControl.db file. It does not exist. This is where the config.xml file is located.
If I try and copy FAHControl.db made on another machine to this machine, it still doesn't show any clients.
Any ideas?
Version 7.6.21 for Windows 10

Re: Windows 10 Can't add clients
I haven't done this on a Windows machine, so am not familiar with the specific way settings are stored there. But the general steps you need to follow when adding remote clients is to configure the network settings, and password settings on each machine and save them. That will write out the changes to config.xml. Then restart the FAHClient process on each machine involved, that causes FAHClient to read the changed network and password settings. After that you should ba able to use FAHControl on one machine to monitor the other clients.
There have been some write ups here in the past on how to configure remote access. This post in the Welcome Topic outlines the process - https://forum.foldingathome.org/viewtop ... f4#p327411

Re: Windows 10 Can't add clients
Remote clients may be in the config.xml in Linux but in Windows they live in SQL Lite FAHControl.db
Code: Select all
SELECT * FROM 'clients' LIMIT 0,30
name address port password

Re: Windows 10 Can't add clients
The network and password settings for the client live in the config.xml file, if you don't set them up and restart the client you can not set up remote clients.
