1) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC Manager communications problem (Message 30642)

I'm having an odd issue with BOINC Manager 6.10.18 for Windows. It seems that sometimes when my internet connection drops out, BOINC Manager is not able to communicate with a particular project even after the internet connection has been restored. (I use 3G internet, so occasional dropouts are normal.)

I might have several files that BOINC Manager is trying to download or upload, and it won't be able to send/receive them for hours, even if I do "Do network communication now". However, if I close BOINC Manager and restart it then it is able to send/receive the files straight away.

Interestingly, I've only ever seen it affect World Community Grid, not the other projects I'm working on.

Any ideas? I'm guessing it's a problem with BOINC Manager rather than WCG, but if WCG has a different network setup than other projects then I'm happy to post a message to them too.

Relevant information:
BOINC 6.10.18
Projects: World Community Grid, malariacontrol.net, ABC@home (+formerly Climate Prediction)
Windows XP SP3
Netgear MBR624GU router with latest firmware and wired connection to computer

Thanks

Tim
