I have one computer currently running boinc (rosetta). I want to add boinc to my other computer so I downloaded boinc. I installed boinc and the boinc manager came up. To my suprise it had my old Seti@home user ID. It was processing units and doing just fine. But I wanted to run it under my new account. So then I went to file, select computer, and then inseted my host name (e-mail???) and my password. Clicked ok, and my old account went away, but now my new one wasn't showing, and I was getting a "not connected to host" in the bottom right. What could be the reason for this?

Windows XP Home
Cable Internet

I am totally baffled by what you've done, or even what you want to do... "Select Computer" is for remotely controlling other computers, has nothing to do with projects, accounts, etc.

First thing you have to do is reconnect to your OWN computer. A total reboot may do this for you, or you may have to go to "Select Computer" again and leave everything BLANK and hit okay.

Once you've done this, you should be back where you started on that host - which doesn't sound like a problem at all. Do you have multiple SETI accounts? If so, do they both have Classic credit, BOINC credit, both? If possible, you'd want to merge those - see the SETI Number Crunching forum, thread "I forgot my password" at the top. You can (and must) have an account on each project you attach to. Just because it's running SETI, you can still attach to Rosetta using _that_ account.

Tell us what it has running, and what you want to have running, and we'll get you from point A to point B.
