Message 52856 - Posted: 28 Feb 2014, 6:21:42 UTC

Boinc was running Seti but when I rebooted Boinc now is saying Unable to connect to the core client. It has tried 3x would I like to restart.

That doesn't work.

I have added boincmgr and boinc client added to my firewall, and virus software to connect.

I am using Win 7 Pro SP1, Boinc 7.2.39 x86, and all ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics drivers, etc are up to date.

Doesn't look like port 31416 is being used.

How do I assign port 31416 to Boinc. I am using Win 7 Pro 32-bit.

Normally you don't have to assign it, as BOINC should use it automatically.
But you can try to start the BOINC client (boinc.exe) from a command line with the following command: boinc.exe --gui_rpc_port 31416 --detach_console

The --detach_console command closes the command line window.
Now start BOINC Manager from the All Projects->BOINC folder.
