My BOINC Manager is no longer able to connect to a Boinc client. Upon start I get a pop up that says just that. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. If I select "File - Select Computer" and type in localhost, I get the same message. HELP!

I am having the same problem. I initially had problems with SETI that several others are having not showing up as an attached project. I saw how to fix that, but in the process I upgraded from 5.2.12 to 5.2.13 and now I can't connect to a BOINC client.

I am currently running 5.2.13 on a Win XP machine. Help?

It's a port conflict that's been fixed in the newer developmental versions. You can download boinc_5.4.4_windows_intelx86.exe by selecting this link. This is for Windows only.

Warning, this is develpmental software, and may contain bugs. Don't blame anyone if bad things happen.

OK now that I've thrown in the standard warning, I haven't had any problems with it and I haven't seen any reports from other alpha members (who test the new releases) that would condemn this version.
