Hi,

My account is http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/results.php?hostid=511140
I changed the global preferences file to force Boinc to recognize the 2 cpu\'s.
The firewall is open to Boinc.exe and Boincmgr.exe.

Still, after work results of 2,67% and 1,06%, I never get the message \"Reason: To send trickle-up message\".
Also in my results, it says \"no trickles\", although it should give me a trickle message about every 5 hours.
Can anyone tell me whether the preferences are wrong ?

In \"Activity\" (top line of Manager page), is \"Network Activity Suspended\"?
If so, click one of the other two options. (I leave mine suspended, then give boinc an \"Internet break\" each morning. It allows more control if there\'s a problem with a Run.)

I don\'t know about the prefs issue, but if you models ARE running OK, and there are no trickle messages, then trickles will be accumulating in the folder for the project: C:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\projects\\climateprediction.net
They will have names starting with trickle_up_

I notice that the server hasn\'t heard from your computer since you were sent a model back in May.

It\'s possible that your models are \"looping\", and will never get anywhere.
Info on many things here, in the 4 README files.
Looping is described in the one labeled: Crashes and other problems

Message 25720 - Posted: 23 Dec 2006, 10:20:21 UTC - in response to Message 25719.  

Thanks,
Apparently, the client has send its result every time I updated the project.
I didn\'t put the trickles in the result in my account and in the messages for about a week.
Now, the client actually mentions the trickles, before it didn\'t.
It seems to have be related to a server update of the account with the trickles.

[quote]I notice that the server hasn\'t heard from your computer since you were sent a model back in May.[quote/]
According to my account info, both results were created in December.

I have read the info. All clear.
