Hi, I'm running bonic 7.0.64 64 bit, connected for 30 minutes then lost it, win7 64bit using win firewall and a router,I've uninstalled it,rebooted it,repaired it, diabled firewall and no luck, pls help

Did you allow BOINC its parts through the firewall? Don't disable the firewall, just add boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe to the exclusion zone.

ths for replying, not sure how to add bonic to exclusion zone,I never had problems before upgrade.not sure why now

Were you running a 32bit BOINC before, or a 64bit BOINC? They install to different program files directories.

By the way, the program name is BOINC, not BONIC.

I was already writing a how-to to add BOINC to the exclusion zone of Windows firewall. It's not completed yet, but it shows how to add stuff.

Start->Control Panel->System and Security->Windows Firewall->Allow a program or feature through Windows firewall.

Check if BOINC Manager is in the list, then click it, click Details. Check that the path is the correct one to the directory you run this BOINC from.
Check if BOINC Client is in the list, then click it, click Details. Check that the path is the correct one to the directory you run this BOINC from.
Check if boinc.exe is in the list, then click it, click Details. Check that the path is the correct one to the directory you run this BOINC from.
Check if boincmgr.exe is in the list, then click it, click Details. Check that the path is the correct one to the directory you run this BOINC from.

32bit BOINC installs to C:\Program Files (X86)\BOINC\, while 64bit BOINC installs to C:\Program Files\BOINC\ .. the 32bit BOINC cannot install to and run from C:\Program Files\, and 64bit BOINC cannot install to and run from C:\Program Files (X86)\ as Windows actively protects these directories and does not allow programs of the wrong bit-depth to be installed in teh 'wrong' directories.

If the path to either is wrong, click Change settings->Allow another program. Another window will open (this can take some time, be patient, even when Windows appears to have hung this window), click Browse and go to either of the BOINC Program directories as I showed above, then choose the boinc.exe or boincmgr.exe there.

Now then, check marks. boinc.exe or BOINC Client needs to be in the list twice, once checked at Private, once checked at Public. boincmgr.exe or BOINC Manager needs to be in the list only once, checked at Private.
