I have one computer set up and solo mining away. The bitcoin client is running in server mode, and bfgminer connects to it with -o 127.0.0.1:8332
.
I have a second computer that I'd also like to mine with too, but using the first computer as the server, so that I only need one instance of the blockchain/bitcoin client. Is that possible?
I tried to connect to it with -o 192.168.1.8332
, which my router tells me is its network address. But bfgminer fails, saying that I probably got the address wrong.
The firewall is allowing bitcoin-qt.exe through, and I set it to allow port 8332 too, just in case.
