1) Questions and Answers : Windows : 4.18 client issue on 2 computers (Message 131231)

Could simply be because the servers as so busy after having problems for the last few days. Uninstalling BOINC is kinda a last resort if things have been working OK and you suddenly have connection problems. It's much more likely to some internet problem or a SETI server problem than anything to do with your PC. And if you uninstall and delete SETI has send you the application again which is now pretty big.

If you are on a dial-up connection I hear you are much better off with 4.45 than 4.19.


I would agree, however I have around 90 Macs all crunching away and they are all working just fine. It also seems strange that both computer using 4.45 & 4.19 have the exact same issue. This has been going on for at least a week, actually since the 4.18 update to the SETI worker.

In the past week I've been getting this message over and over on two different computers... I have uninstalled, deleted the entire BOINC folder. Searched the entire computer for anything with BOINC in its name and deleted it. I reinstall and then immediatelly get the message as soon as I attach to the project. Has anyone else experienced this? It is happening on both PCs I have attached. For some reason it is not happening on the Mac client. BTW, I tried going back to the previous version (4.19 I think) and it does the same thing... The problem is that these two machines are the fastest ones I have and so they are a much bigger loss than the rest.

It would be really handy if the list of computers could be sorted by date of last contact, date of last returned result, and date of last downloaded work unit. I have many computers at many different locations and it would be much easier to see when a computer has stopped working without having to ssh into each one and verify that it is still working.
