How come BOINC Manager keeps losing the Localhost setting?

Every day or so, after working fine both uploading and downloading workunits quite happily, BOINC will report that it is unable to communicate with the system.

If I go into Advanced / Select Computer and set the Host to localhost, it all starts working again.

This has only been happening with the last two versions on BOINC manager that I've used - the current one being 6.10.18 with wxWidgets 2.8.10.

I'm running a fully-patched XP Pro machine, in case that helps.

You might try 6.10.19 as that has at least one fix that is related.

Any idea where I can get ver 6.10.19 from?

The download page is still showing the 6.10.18 version :-(

And when you get there, go for 6.10.21 instead of .19 :-)

Just wanted to say Thank You.

Have installed the .21 version and all has been fine for 32 hours.

Cheers,

Kevin
