A processor with a XEON CPU, Locutus, is no longer listed under my 'computers'. How does BOINC/SETI determine the Computer ID? My stats no longer seem to list 'locutus', a XEON 3550 on a HP Z400 board. I did two things within an hour of each other. First, I moved the USB-> Wireless adapter from 'locutus' to a different computer, named 'Asimov'. Did the computer ID move with the Mac address? (They run the same version of Linux mint, if that matters.) I also moved my SETI account info.xml file for SETI from a third computer to Asimov. But I still see 'Sagan' (oldest computer - core i7-920) and 'Asimov' (newest computer, Intel 4790k) as independent systems. I'm stumped as to how this happened. - Ralph |

Yes, both are visible now. I'm still wondering what happened, since it was missing from the earlier list of "my computers". I did put the USB->Wireless adapter back in its original place, and turned that machine back on. |

Sometimes BOINC assigns separate identities to the same computer by mistake. You can correct this by merging old identities with the newest one. This list below seems pretty strange. It looks like I should ALWAYS do an "add project" by signing up with email/password, instead of using the authenticator in the account_info.xml file. >> Here's the output from when I went into the "merge computers" section.
