I have to agree with those who do not like BOINC. I cannot run it on one of my machines, because it disconnects my wireless connection, and the only way to reestablish the connection is to reboot! No thank you. I am running BOINC on my hardwired machine, but I had to uninstall it to keep the other machine connected. If the classic version goes away completely, my helpfulness will be makedly reduced...

Do you also have a network card installed in your computer? Under network neighborhood (or my network places) (right click - properties) you'll see your wireless connection and if you have a network card you'll see another connection there too. Try right clicking on that other connection (or connections if more than one, "local area connection" or "local area connection #2" etc..) and select disable. This will force BOINC to use your wireless connection.

Just a thought to perhaps try.

You can always re-enable the connections by right clicking on them again and selecting enable.

My problem is Boinc doesn't send completed WU's unless I "Update project". Boinc will upload new WU's to process, so I know my connection works. I do notice a terrible decrease in proformance of my wireless when Boinc is running.(Ex. slow internet, slow loading of pages & page not found stuff). When I increased my wireless security from 128bit WEP to WPA-PSK/AES is when things started on Boinc. Why would encryption of my wireless mess things up?

-Use network only between the hours of
Enforced by versions 4.46 and greater (no restriction)
- Skip image file verification?
Check this ONLY if your Internet provider modifies image files(UMTS does this, for example).
-Skipping verification reduces the security of BOINC. no

I'm not a network guru, hopefully one will be along to see this. But I did notice that you're using BOINC core client v. 4.25. As I recall there were some issues that have been fixed in the current recommended version, 4.45. You can get the newer verion here, it may help. Helpful instructions on upgrading are in the Wiki.

Duh!!! Thanks
That should have been my first thought, Guess I need a vacation after moving from Las Vegas to Southern Arizona. Usually an update will fix your problems.
lol


Thx again

You sure about that?
BOINC returns the result as soon as it's completed. It will remain in the work tab & it's status changes from Uploading to Ready to Report.
It will be removed from the work tab once it has been reported; that will happen the next time the client contacts the Scheduler- when a deadline is close, when you need mroe work, or when you manually Update.

The heat can do that to you. ;-)

No guarantees about the fix, but it's a good place to start, let us know if you continue to have problems!
