Title: Adding 2nd PC with guiminer / connecting to bitcoin on 1st? RPC errors
Post by: martinw79 on June 06, 2011, 02:32:18 AM
I have 1st PC up and running with guiminer and bitcoin --server

Adding another PC on the lan, I have just guiminer installed here.  How do I connect to the 1st PC with bitcoin?  IF I try solo and specify the correct LAN IP and login I get RPC connection errors.  IF I try 'other' and specify the same, I get the same RPC connection errors. What gives?  How do I add more miners using gpuminer from other PC's?

Thanks for reading / helping.

You need to specifically allow that IP in bitcoin.conf
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin

# By default, only RPC connections from localhost are allowed.  Specify
 # as many rpcallowip= settings as you like to allow connections from
 # other hosts (and you may use * as a wildcard character):
 #rpcallowip=10.1.1.34
 #rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
