<p>I have bitcoind hosted on a local machine and I would like to set up a remote client to do some bitcoin URI testing on another local machine. I have Bitcoin-QT installed on the client and updated client bitcoin.conf as following</p>

<pre><code>regtest=1
connect=0.0.0.0
rpc_connect = 192.168.0.252 #Address of host
</code></pre>

<p>In the client Bitcoin-QT, I copy the receiving address and try to have the host send regtest coins to the address with the command</p>

<pre><code>bitcoin-cli -regtest sendtoaddress muteqiroK9LNRAUppnicQepBhPvaEuW8TG 1.00
</code></pre>

<p>This does not work. Can anyone give me some direction as to how I would get this working?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

I have bitcoind hosted on a local machine and I would like to set up a remote client to do some bitcoin URI testing on another local machine. I have Bitcoin-QT installed on the client and updated client bitcoin.conf as following

```
regtest=1

In the client Bitcoin-QT, I copy the receiving address and try to have the host send regtest coins to the address with the command

This does not work. Can anyone give me some direction as to how I would get this working?

Thank you!
