help to get mining step working on scrypt_altcoin_cloining tutorial at devtome

Hi everyone,

I've been following the scrypt_altcoin_cloining tutorial on devtome but am stuck on the mining part to this tutorial.

Having trouble mining on -testnet for barcoin from this tutorial.

I've setup two Linux Mint VM's using Oracle VirtualBox.
Network settings are Bridged Adapter/Promiscuous Mode set to Allow All.
I have disabled all firewalls.   
My port on -testnet is 40442. I am not using port forwarding as there is no option with the Bridged Adapter.

After running ./barcoin from both VM's i.e. typing ./barcoin -testnet -connect=192.168.1.12 & (and again for the second with the firsts IP address)

I get a message  [1] 3456 followed by the prompt (this number changes randomly each time I run it).
Then when I try to do ./barcoin getinfo to check the status
I get error:could not connect to server
barcoin is still running in the background though as I can see it hashing in the debug file.

If this makes sense to anybody here or anybody here had this issue before or can help solve this problem there's a tip in it for you.
