Can anyone help me connect #Sparrow wallet to my #BitcoinCore node that is running on a different PC on the same network? I tried using Sparrow's guide, but for some reason it's not connecting.

Any videos or advice would be greatly appreciated!

My network uses 10.0.0.x format and ipv6. I don't know if that's part of the problem. I don't know a lot about networks.

Thanks!

Is your Bitcoin core setup to accept connections on port 8332?

I’m the config is “server = 1”?

I added lines to the Bitcoin.conf file as such.

server=1

rpcuser=xxxxx

rpcpassword=xxxxx

[main]

rpcbind=127.0.0.1

rpcbind=10.0.0.10

rpcallow=127.0.0.1

rpcbind=10.0.0.49

I was not sure if I was supposed to use my public IP or my network IP.

I don't know how to allow Bitcoin Core to accept connections on port 8332. Is that the setting that says "Connect through SOCKS proxy (default proxy):"?

For testing do

rpcbind=0.0.0.0

rpcallow=0.0.0.0

Is core running on the same computer as sparrow or a separate machine?

Either way see if this helps. Comment out the other rpcbind and rpcallow.

FYI a good resource for your conf file is https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator/

Okay I found it. Thank you so much. Didn't realize I had to add an exception to windows defender firewall. Seems to be working now 👍👍
