hi,

just downloaded version 7.0.25, it won´t recognize active connection, exception were made on firewall for both boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe,
opened port tcp 31416, nothing, it won´t connect,

thanks in advance for your time

win xp-sp3, 3gb ram, intel e5200

What kind of error message do you get?

"BOINC Manager cannot connect to a client" or something else?

---

thanks,

i get
"BOINC Manager cannot connect to a client",
also i don´t see any active conection under tools->option->conections

though i have internet access

Have you checked in Windows task manager that the client (boinc.exe) is actually running?
How did you install BOINC? Do you remember? As service, or as normal user?
Did you have a GPU at one point and did you remove it without uninstalling its drivers?
Could it be that something else on your system is using port 31416?
You aren't trying to start a second BOINC Manager, are you?

also i don´t see any active conection under tools->option->conections
though i have internet access

That's normal. This option is only used by dial-up and VPN connections, not by xDSL, Cable and LAN connections, as then the OS takes care of the connection.

* yes, boinc and boincmgr are running,
* i don´t remember installation, maybe user, but it´s not an upgrade, it´s a fresh v7 installation,
* no previous gpu, (almost) new machine, graphic card is nvidia geforce 7300se/7200 gs
* if i run (in cmd): netstat -an |find /i "31416" i get this: tcp 127.0.0.1:31416 (space) 0.0.0.0:0 (space) listening
*no, i installed, rebooted, never worked,

thanks

Still sounds like a permission problem.
So, could you please uninstall BOINC and reinstall it? Or download the 7.0.26 installer and install that one.

hi,

i uninstalled, installed new version, can´t conect to localhost,

this was the installation sequence: install->license->configuration->ready to install->installation-> launch boinc mngr,


last night i downloaded and installed a 64bit version on another machine (win7)/4gb ram, the installation sequence was different, at some point i was requested for a project and login/pass info, in this case seti@home,

thanks

i forgot to mention, av is nod32, last night i ran 2 different malware/spyware programs, machine seems clean

What kind of firewall do you have on the Windows XP machine?

That's normal. When you install BOINC clean on a machine that's never had BOINC before, or where the data directory was removed, it'll offer you to add (a) project(s) at the end of the installation. This also shows that both the client and the manager are running and that they can communicate with each other, something that they don't do on your XP machine.

So something on your XP machine refuses to allow BOINC its parts, the client (boinc.exe) and the user interface (boincmgr.exe), to communicate with each other. You'll have to figure out what that is. If you don't use the Windows firewall, but a third party firewall (Kapersky, Norton, ZoneAlarm, Comodo, Outpost, etc.) then you will have to instruct that firewall how BOINC should pass.

the xp machine never had boinc before, this is a new machine to boinc,
i downloaded the newest version and installed fresh,

the only firewall is win´s, i also turned it off, rebooted, nothing, the antivirus is nod32, i´ve even tried this: firewall off + av off, nopE,

thx

hi,

under cmd ---> netstat -ano i get


tcp 127.0.0.1:31416 0.0.0.0 listening 1516(pid)


task manger ---> pid 1516= boinc

whooops!




thx![/url]

What is it you're trying to say?
That BOINC Manager is just listening, not having established a connection with BOINC? But that's what it says when it complains that it cannot connect to a client.

What is PID 1516? Boincmgr.exe or boinc.exe?

Only when both BOINC Manager and the BOINC client are communicating with each other, will they be listed as Established. For instance, for me, it says:

        Local Address          Foreign Address
 TCP    127.0.0.1:31416        127.0.0.1:60777        ESTABLISHED     4336
 TCP    127.0.0.1:60777        127.0.0.1:31416        ESTABLISHED     4712

PID 4336 = Boinc.exe
PID 4712 = Boincmgr.exe

So normal communications.

I have same problem - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit with boinc 7.0.27 installed from repo and boincmgr cannot me log in. I checked - I don't have any firewall. Certainly I have router with NAT as usual but I guess this should not bother. At the same time I can log in at web page http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ or http://boinc.berkeley.edu/
