1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Cannot connect to localhost since updating windows (Message 2122) Posted 20 Dec 2005 by Bodo @ Work Post: Argh... I updated my machine today and BOINC 5.2.13 just refuses to connect to localhost. Funny, it was working till upgrade. It is always started manually, and is linked to two projects - SETI and Rosetta. Nothing helps - firewalls, blank lines with return, no Outlook, no Messenger... Oh... Win XP Pro SP2

2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Connection Problems (Message 1866) Posted 14 Dec 2005 by Bodo @ Work Post: Ah, nevermind. Found broken registry key, deleted it, reinstalled BOINC and reattached to project SETI. Now it seems that 5.2.13 will work on my laptop again.

3) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Connection Problems (Message 1837) Posted 13 Dec 2005 by Bodo @ Work Post: So, 13 is NOT lucky number. I also have problems since I installed 5.2.13. on my laptop. "No connection to localhost", freezing while connecting to localhost and simillar problems are constant. So, what I'd like is to completely uninstall client & manager, and then to reinstall them. But, something stays in registry. So, what should I eradicate manually? Oh, and BTW, I can NOT use port 80 for communication, but proxy setting should solve this... shouldn't it? It does on my desktop, where 5.2.13 is happily working ... Frustrating, isn't it?
