Posted 11 Mar 2008 by Peter R. Post: @Peter R. Wow Keck those are some impressive stats. Thank you I found the link to my stats gif but right now its pretty dinky so I'd rather wait ;). I think I did install BOINC as shared users, either way, BOINCMGR.exe is failing to start BOINC.exe automaticly. I'll reinstall as a service and that should solve it. As of right now I have to manually start BOINC.exe before I start the BOINCMGR.exe and that seems to work for me. |

Posted 11 Mar 2008 by Peter R. Post: OK I almost completely solved the problem and I am sharing my findings for the spirit of science ;-). I went into the C:program filesBOINC folder and listed all the exe files in there running and compared it to what is being executed in startup. After realizing BOINC is setup kinda in 2 parts, the RPC client and the server I wanted to investigate that the server was even starting. According to msconfig.exe there are 2 BOINC files running out of the 'common startup group' "C:Program FilesBOINCboincmgr.exe" /s "C:Program FilesBOINCboinctray.exe" After seeing that only 2 of the 4 exe files were actually being started from the common startup group wanted to manually start "C:Program FilesBOINCboinc.exe" it started up kinda how I expected it, it brought up dos looking console window and began its initialization process which was very similar to the linux version. I than ran "C:Program FilesBOINCboincmgr.exe" and made sure I was connected to the local host which connected fine just like in the past however, only till now I could actually originate connection to projects from my windows PC. So my question now is why isnt the server starting automaticly by default as a result of running the installation scripts from "http://boincdl.ssl.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.10.41_windows_x86_64.exe". Right out of the BOX boinc_5.10.30_windows_x86_64.exe does not work. If there are any developers please verify this with me. Now I gotta figure out how to get those cool little gif's of my progress. Can anyone help me with that? **I just realized that the file I downloaded "http://boincdl.ssl.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.10.30_windows_x86_64.exe" actually reports 5.10.41 "http://web.tampabay.rr.com/baddawgie0/images/1.png" there is some discrepancy in the version numbers here. |

Posted 9 Mar 2008 by Peter R. Post: I've installed the linux client 5.10.8 and amazingly I can connect through the RPC protocol on my windows machine to the server! (The same machine that cant seem to connect to projects). So I am now participating in some projects however im running it on a dual 3.02 Ghz Xeon that is in a 1U enclosure and its rather noisy to be running the CPU's at 100% all the time hehe oh well I'll have to figure out a way to put the server in a closet space or something. Is there any ports i have to forward to get BOINC to run on my windows machine behind a firewall? I'd still like to run jobs on my windows machine. Im just going to try downloading the 32bit version and see what that does. |

Posted 9 Mar 2008 by Peter R. Post: I completely switched my Belkin to Ubuntu Server with IPTABLES handling my IP masquarding and I am still having problems. I think we can rule out firewall. I am not running any software firewalls nor do I have a antivirus running on this machine. Im going to try and run it off my linux server now that I have it running. |

Posted 25 Feb 2008 by Peter R. Post: Summa from many posts. Ok Just to be clear. I do have VMware installed but I am not running BOINC on a virtual machine. It is being ran on the host machine. I just mentioned it because I know it has some special drivers loading on the host machine. The firewall also has a built-in DHCP server which I am using. My main problem is that I cannot attach to any projects because I could never get BOINC to connect to them. Its the weirdest thing. As far as BOINC is concerned I have no internet connection. This is of course false. I get a pop-up window that says: "BOINC Manager - Network Status: BOINC couldn't do Internet communication, and no default connection is selected. Please connect to the Internet, or select a default connecting using Advanced/Options/Connections." Here is the screen shot of Advanced/Options/Connections [url=http://web.tampabay.rr.com/baddawgie0/images/3.png[/url] |

Posted 13 Feb 2008 by Peter R. Post: I am running BOINC 5.10.30 on Windows XP 64bit and I am getting a message saying no default connection specified. When I go to advanced settings to pick a Internet connection I see that there is none listed. I also have VMware installed but running or not I get the same problem. |
