I have the same problem with my computer. I have win 10 and I use the windows defender firewall. I had no problem with boinc with my last computer before this one. I have seen that I cant upload/download work a lot this past time. Once the upload/download server was down. I checked that. Something must have happende!




Hi,

I've done this on many other PCs, but I can't get BOINC to connect on my new Dell laptop. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, set my Norton firewall to allow access by ALL the .exe files in the Boinc directory. No help

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,
Andy

BOINC version 7.6.22 (x64)
Seti@home project
see other details in the image below:



I posted this same question on the BOINC community board, but I was told to re-install BOINC (which I've already done a few times, with no success) and no more information or suggestions.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy

We plan to stop making new v7 work within a few days, because v8 really is more accurate when searching for Gaussians. You can keep v7 until you run out of v7 work. But eventually you'll want to upgrade. Hopefully we'll be getting the GPU versions out quickly.



If I do not wait and that v7 work that are left. Wouldnt that get lost? Or does it get updatet to v8 work altso and resent to us?

I do not understand one thing. My highest averege work done was at it highest 2660 and has ever since declined to 2451. It has gone 10 days from my record to where I am now. Why do I get less creds? Is it that I have got more Seti@H v7 tasks?!

An interpretation is "How much credit do we get for or work?"

Each Seti@H v7 task is worth between 25-100 credits
Each Astropulse task is worth between 400 and 800 credits

Credit is only given for work that validates.


Cada tarea v7 Seti@H vale entre 25-100 créditos
Cada tarea Astropulse vale entre 400 y 800 créditos

Sólo se da crédito por trabajo que valida
