Has anyone been able to successfully pair a knots node to sparrow on a different machine?

I activated RPC in the bitcoin knots-qt GUI.

Then I went into the bitcoin conf file and added the following:

rpcuser:xyz
rpcpassword:abc
rpcbind:127.0.0.1
rpcbind:0.0.0.0
rpcbind: *actual machine IP*
rpcallowip: *IP of machine running sparrow*
server=1
txindex=1

My issue is probably the RPC bind line... I tried many combinations of the 3 listed above.

On sparrow side, in server settings I selected bitcoin core, entered the IP of the knots machine in the URL line. Entered username and PW. Port set to 8332, as it says that is the default.

The failure on sparrow is:

could not connect:

Connection refused

I haven't tested to reproduce your setup but try to change this one invalid config; it should be rpcallowip instead of rpcallow.
Don't forget to restart the node to apply the setting.

Oh, good eye. Unfortunately I only typo'd in this post, was using the correct syntax on the conf file. Sad
