It's BOINC 5.4.11 on both Win2K and WinXP. |

Posted 25 Jan 2007 by riesling Post: Would running BOINC as a service and simply not running the manager, until needed, fulfil your requirements? It's possible that this could work. What would I need to do in order to try that configuration? |

Posted 25 Jan 2007 by riesling Post: RE: PREVIOUS MESSAGE. I'll have to check on the exact version, but it's probably the latest or close to the latest version - I don't think it's more than 6 months old. Setting reminders to zero generates mega-mega-messages, so I set it to the maximum value instead. This results in the "minimum" number of pestering messages. However, when running unattended for days on end, I still get lots and lots of messages on the Win2K platform (they just stack up on the desktop constantly, a new message every two hours or so). On the WinXP platform it's something like two messages for every completed task, or two messages per day - whatever the figure, it's less pesky than Win2K, but still annoying - I don't want ANY messages at all. I have tried suspending network activity. BOINC doesn't care - it pesters away regardless. The only time I have noticed that it doesn't pester is when no task is 100% complete. But since my World Community Grid tasks only run 10 hours or so, this isn't much of a relief. |

Posted 24 Jan 2007 by riesling Post: I have two computers (one Win2K, another WinXP) running BOINC 24/7. Every 5-7 days I use dial-up on both systems to report computed results and get new work. When I do this, BOINC always greets me with a whole herd of stacked-up pestering messages about its unsatisfied need to go online, which I then have to laboriously click on one at a time to get them to go away. At no point does the software actually NEED to go online, since BOINC has 10-12 tasks stacked up - way more than enough to last those 5-7 days without running out of work, even when crunching 24/7. Why isn't there a MUTE switch for this BOINC software?!?!? |

How to add LAN to list of network connections?
(Message 6019)
Posted 15 Oct 2006 by riesling Post: In my list of BOINC network connections I can only see my dialup connections. I can't see my 10/100 network connection (to a Win XP computer that has Internet Connection Sharing enabled). How can I get BOINC to see the LAN route to the Internet? |
