I have 2 computers running BOINC and just my first added computer has a queue with tasks, my laptop is performing just one task and when it finishes it doesn't get another when except if I detach from the projects and then attach again.
Why is that?
my pc and my laptop both are intel core 2 duo @ 2,2 Ghz and I want it to used them both at full potential.
Please advise.

And another question is why there are just 2 tasks running in the same time? Can I increase the number of tasks is done in the same time?

Thank you in advance.

In answer to your second question...

You can have one task running per CPU core. On your Core 2 Duo computers, that means two tasks at any time. If you had a Core 2 Quad, it would run four tasks at a time.

Thanks guys for helping.
I found the problem with no work being sent to my laptop. On my preferences I've set to leave at least 20Gb free space, and the partition BOINC uses it's a smaller one. I've seen on messages that was an error about not having enough space :)
