1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Unable to connect (Message 3142)

Yes you are correct but that is a little more intimate to the firewall than I wanted to get. After your response I went to the NVIDIA firewall and discovered that custom one had a boinc 5.2.13 allow entry in it. I enabled custom 1 and everything is back to normal. Thanks

Following my previous post and query instead of opening a command window I tried executing boinc directly from the Start>run command with the redirectio parameter. This time when I closed out the command window that opened, boinc manager remained connected.

Again does anybody know the progress or timeline of a fix.

If you've read my previous posts, you'd know why it's doing what it's doing and how to fix it (as long as you accept the problems that come with developmental client). A new developmental version is on it's way. Noone knows when this developmental branch will be mature enough to release as official.

Well I thought I had resolved the cannot connect issue when I modified the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file per some suggestions. That worked until I rebooted following a windows update.

The PROBLEM is back. I tried the various suggestions of executing boinc from a command prompt and that did allow boinc manager to connect and work to start but in all cases closing the command window disconnected the boinc manager and stopped all work. Yes boinc was still running in the background but nothing was actually happening.

Any more suggestions? Is someone working on a fix?

I tried the suggested blank/carraige return modification to gui_rpc_auth.cfg and got an incorrect password error but it was on the right track. I then tried deleting the blank and carriage return leaving a completely null file. That worked. Thanks for the direction.
