Have you placed the "remote_hosts.cfg" file in each of the computers you want to connect to? This is a text file that contains the ip address of the computer you want to connect from.

i just did it then, but still not letting me connect :( i created a file called "remote_hosts" and renamed it to a file extension of cfg, and put it in the BOINC dir.. is that where it was supposed to go? thanks for the help btw :)

This file goes in the BOINC of every computer that you wish to control.
And then you have to restart BOINC on that machine.
