1) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC manager is not able to connect to BOINC client (Message 37009)

I've just started having the same problems (running windows vista). Windows Task Manager reports that the BOINC tasks are still running even though BOINC Manager has a blank screen (and "connecting to localhost" in lower right hand). Have tried re-installing BOINC, but, still no difference. Occasionally after hard restarts the details are displayed for a short period of time (haven't put a stopwatch to it yet...). All this started happening after loading pictures from a P&O Cruises USB stick (wife and daughter went on cruise and had photos taken and were given the photos on a USB stick). Anyone else have this issue ??

Cheers,

Hi,

I don't remember having updated BOINC since I installed it back in Feb of this year (current installed version being 6.10.18), though I did bump up the Additional Work Buffer to 5.0. So I think that may have been it. I've dropped it back down to 2.0, so I'll see how I go.

Cheers,
David

Hi,

Um, I seem to be getting dumped on with WU's. Last night Orbit, Leiden & BoincSIMAP dumped like 40 WU's on me all due by at latest 11 Sept 2010. I kind of aborted them and funny things started happening with my PC and I eventually ended up rebooting this morning. Orbit then dumped another 10 or 11 WU's on me again this morning and now Einstein has dumped 8 WU's on me. This is highly irregular. Has something changed recently to force excessive WU's down from multiple differetn sites ??

Cheers,
David

Hi,

I have the Network Usage Allowed on my BOINC manager set to between 00:10 & 11:50. That is supposed to be my local time, isn't it ??

Last night at 7:42 (GMT+10), 3 different projects (Leiden, Milkyway & Spinhenge) downloaded new WU's during a period that they shouldn't have ?? I also noticed in the log that several other projects had uploaded WU just prior to that ?? I haven't noticed this happening previously and hope it doesn't happen too frequently as I need my Peak Period broadband for work. I don't mind donating my "Off-Peak" broadband.

Cheers,
David
