IS there any way of stopping my modem calling up for new work etc and not being able to connect? I have a anti-virus program that only downloads when it is connected to the internet. Can anything be done with Boinc that only allows this? I am feed up with looking at my messages and finding most of it in red because either I am not on the net or the schedulers are not responding.

Do I get this right? You only want to go online while sitting in front of your puter?
Was my behaviour as well, but some beta-project made me change my mind ;)

I always changed the 'Disable/Enable network communications' in the main menue manually while being online/offline.

Never had any probs until this this beta arrived, and demanded being online while finishing a WU. Now I make better use of my flatrate, but I think it still works.

For questions about Boinc look in the BOINC-Wiki

I have my General Preference setting set up this way:

Confirm before connecting to Internet?
(matters only if you use a modem) yes
Disconnect when done?
(matters only if you use a modem) no

It doesn't auto dial a connection ever. I've never had mine try to connect on it's own.

does this help?

PS General preference settings are changed by clicking on "your account" then "general preferences".

Just checked mine they are exactly the same as yours but I keep on getting sending schedular request to berkeley when I have work to upload or when it is requesting further work.

the only way I know to stop that is to open the boinc manager, click on "File", then select "disable network access". You then need to "enable network access when you sign on. I don't bother, they're just messages anyway and don't effect your crunching ability.

This was broken for a long time. I believe that it is supposed to be fixed in 4.45.

Running 4.43 should I upgrade?

Although I'm not entirely fond of the new scheduler scheme (which started with V4.35), I use 4.45 and would recommend an upgrade. This doesn't mean your issue will be fixed, but others will.

have a nice weekend

Note: if you use the "no new work" feature, be warned that the project tab doesn't display it as such in the status display.

Still does it? So what was the point in upgrading?

Because 4.45 fixes several issues with ghost WU and a couple issues with the LTD calulations with projects that are not responding for some reason like the Scheduler crashing right after it starts up... :)
