Title: Connect Client Over Internet
Post by: Mobotek on June 06, 2011, 05:52:41 PM
So I am trying to connect my client which is running at work to my home Bitcoin node. My Firewall is off, AV is turned off and I have port forwarding setup on my router to port 8332. I have a username and password setup on my Bitcoin node along with allowip = *. When I try to connect I get error that I cant connect to the RPC Server. I did some port scanning and on port 8332 it says connection rejected. Any one have any ideas why I cant connect the client back home from work? P.S. I am the network Admin here so i know I am on a unfiltered/ no firewall connection.

Did you start your node with -server

Yup. I have a localhost GUIMiner running as well and that connects fine.

Wrong syntax. It should be rpcallowip=
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.*
