Thanks crandles. I just found that the IP of our proxy server changed.

All of my machines are getting this error while trying to connect. I haven't sent a trickle since 31-Mar.

Any thoughts, thanks.

Well, actually yes, yes I did...sort of. In the processs of building multiple systems, we build one system with a mirrored system disk. (all of ours have mirrored system disks) When that OS is built with everything set as we want it. We break the mirrored set and pop a new drive in and re-mirror the set. Now we can use the drive we took out as a system disk in a new machine...instantly building the new OS...etc. for n = the number of machines to build. The mirroring takes about 2 minutes, building the whole OS takes a few hours. We bounce the machine into WORKGROUP, change the name and re-join to the domain and we're done. So, that's the long version of "manually transfer it".

When I reinstalled Boinc on the "new" machine, the boinc uninstaller did NOT remove EVERYTHING. So, when I installed it, boinc took off and started with the original files and claimed the original computer in CPDN. By the time I knew what happened and stopped boinc, it was too late. I should have kept it off the network until I was done.

I have a model running on the "bad" machine, it's over 90% done. Once it's uploaded I'll detach from the project and re-attach. I'm hoping that will create a new computer in CPDN. Interestingly, this "bad" machine, 132554, shows up on CPDN for me with the option to "delete this host"...no others do.

Thanks Les, I will take your suggestion after the current model finishes.

I've un-hidden my computers. It seems the credit for 132554 is going nowhere, it's always zero...oh well.

Thanks again,

Hello,
Somehow I managed to get 2 system reporting to 1 "computer" in your database. Computer ids, 132554 and 132996 are both tallying credits to 132996.

I know how this happened but I don't know how to fix it. 132554 is 87% done and I don't want to reinstall Boinc until the WU is done - in about 4 days.

Any thoughts?

One of less ingenious coworkers blew away one of my systems. Is there any way of getting the last trickle or WU,...or whatever; from CPDN to continue the proccessing?

Excellent. Thank you. I was hoping that would be the case.

I have to rebuild one of Windows machines today. Is there a backup and restore procedure for BOINC such that I won't lose any work?

Thank you very much...and, do you guys ever sleep? I'm not used to getting responses for anything in 32 minutes. Wow!

How do I get this to work? I keep getting "GUI RPC request from non-allowed address" from my Boinc clients.

Thanks for all the replies.

1) Suspend Boinc
2) With Task Manager, set affintiy of boinc_gui.exe to one CPU.
3) Run Benchmarks...see that the results are the same with HT off. :-)
4) With Task Manager, set affintiy of boinc_gui.exe back to ALL CPUs.
5) Un-suspend Boinc.
6) With Task Manager, set affintiy of each boinc process to one CPU each.
7) Repeat step 6, as new boinc processes are created,...whenever. Just trying illiminate as much context switching as possible.

I found that if you leave the boinc_gui locked on one CPU when you resume processing. All the subsequent processes that are created are on that one CPU.

Thanks again for your comments,

I'm running CPDN on a 3.60Ghz dual Xeon w/HT. I noticed significant differences between benchmarks with HT 'On' and HT 'Off'. With HT off, the Integer speed is doubled.

Should I keep HT off, or turn it back on?
