	When using dialup to transfer work units, I am having the problem of finishing a work unit, but when I get a dialup connection up, BOINC comes back with 'deferred connection for 2 hours, or words to that effect. Since I don't have the 2 hours to wait, it may be another 12 hours or so before the next connection. Seems like a huge waste of CPU cycles to me. Is there a way to force the BOINC Connection ????

There is a disable network access option under the file menu. This will stop BOINC from trying to connect if selected. John Keck BOINCing since 2002/12/08

I use it a lot, and I'm on dial up. What it doesn't do is stay disabled if you restart the client. It will turn itself back on, so you must turn it off again. It's not wise to doubt JKeck, Tim. ;-) <a> [/url]
