1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Unable to connect to local host on startup (Message 12275)

Post:

localhost is THAT machine. By the time applications (BOINC) starts networking is already available. This has nothing to do with cable.
It's possible that other startup programs are using so much cpu that BOINC is timeing out with itself.
Are you running with 5.10.x? Are you running as a service or on login?


Running BOINC Manager version 5.2.8, just running a service, SETI to be exact.

Heres the message log from this morning.

Maybe this a seperate thing, and I was just assuming theey were related to the : unable to connect to localhost, on the lower right corner of my BOINC manager.

Basically Im wondering if there is a way to have either BOINC start a few minutes or so after everything else boots so they arent competing for resources, or have it wait a few minutes before attempting to connect to boinc2 or seti, or just not 'Backing off 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 16 seconds'?

Thanks

Post:
Every so often I reboot my system and have several programs set to start such as BOINC, Anti Virus, Spybot, etc..
I have a Cable connection and am always online, but when BOINC starts it always gives me an: unable to connect to localhost, message in the bottom corner. So I have to close BOINC and restart it. Then I often have to go to Projects or Transfers and have it Update or Retry.

I assume its just attempting to connect before my computer is finished doing whatever it does before connecting.

So is there anyway to slow down BOINCS connection?
