I have a raspberry pi (with a static ip) that is connected to a windows desktop via ethernet. On my windows desktop, I am running an instance of bitcoin-qt, and I am trying to access this.

First, I looked up my desktop's ip address using ipconfig, which turned out to be 192.168.0.18. Since I have an apache web server on my desktop as well, I curl'd it from the raspberry to test that the ip was indeed correct.

Next, I tried to curl my desktop on port 8332 (which is where bitcoin-qt is listening) with the correct credinals. It gave me a "forbidden" message.

I double checked my firewall to make sure that wasn't the problem. I also checked my rpcallowip to make sure my raspberry wasn't being blocked there.

I then went onto my desktop and curl'd localhost port 8332 from there. I got a json output, as expected. Curl'ing 192.168.0.18 on port 8332 still gave me a forbidden message.

Does anybody have any idea what is going on?
