Hi, i am trying to create a grid computing system within an internal network using BOINC. I have setup the server on a virtual machine of debian 4.0 and the client running on windows xp pro. I also set up a test application on the server provided.

The problem i am having is that the project test is started and the client is connected however, the server is not giving work to the client i am getting the error "communication deferred" and it seems that there is no tasks given to the client. I have tried playing around with firewall setting and feel there may be a problem with ports.

Any help would be appreciated

You can set up BOINC server by downloading the source codes and installing some softwares. Because the free virtual machine has some faults.
