<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>
