Title: Problems Communicating With Bitcoin RPC - Troubleshooting? Post by: gigabytecoin on April 18, 2011, 10:32:48 PM I have a bitcoin server and a bitcoin miner (GUI version of poclbm) running on Windows 7 64 bit. This computer is behind a router and port 8332 is forwarded to this machine. It's internal IP address is 192.168.0.195
I have a bitcoin miner running on Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. This computer is behind the same router as the windows server+miner above. Whenever I go to run the poclbm miner from Ubuntu using variations of -o localhost, 192.168.0.195, my_router_ip, etc... I get the error message "Problems Communicating With Bitcoin RPC". I have setup a password in my bitcoin.conf file on windows and know that it works because a miner has been successfully running on windows for the last few days. I do not have a bitcoin client running on the Ubuntu machine. Only the windows machine. The only possible idea I have as to why this might not work is because I downloaded poclbm directly from git and perhaps it was in the process of being worked on/upgraded? (I have absolutely no idea how git works). What are your thoughts? Title: Re: Problems Communicating With Bitcoin RPC - Troubleshooting?

Does anyone know if there is a "how to guide" or pdf file or anything for poclbm or do I just have to read through the entire thread? (If so, maybe I'll make one!) |
