Setting up BOINCView
1. Download the latest zip file of BOINCView below
2. Unzip BOINCView to C:\Program Files\BOINCView
3. On each system that you want to monitor with BOINCView, go into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC and create a file called remote_hosts.cfg
In Vista or Windows 7, put the files in C:\ProgramData\BOINC\
4. In the remote hosts file, set a list of all of the IP addresses that you want to be able to control BOINC on this computer. This is my remote hosts file. Obviously set it to whatever IP addresses exist, for example it may be 192.168.0.x instead of my 192.168.1.x
5. Also, create a file called gui_rpc_auth.cfg
6. Open the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file, and enter whatever password you wish to use to control BOINC (just make it easy to remember)
7. Copy the two files that you made to the BOINC settings directory of every computer you wish to control
8. Go to the Windows Firewall control panel, and add an exception. Enter BOINC as the name, and 31416 as the port number. Select “TCP”
9. Reboot the computer
10. Open up BOINCView, and hit F12. This will bring up the computer list
11. Under name, enter the name of the computer, and under IP address enter the IP address of the computer you wish to control. You can obtain the IP address by opening Command Prompt and entering ipconfig
12. For the port number, enter 31416, and under the BOINC client password enter whatever you selected earlier.
13. BOINCView should now be monitoring the BOINC client on your computer. If you have any issues, post them here. If there is anything I should change about the guide, also post it here and I will do my best to change it.
