I installed BOINC a week ago and after some tweaking to get the settings recognized it worked fine as a screen saver. However, after rebooting the Boinc icon in the system tray says \"BOINC Manager is not currently connected to a BOINC client...\".
I\'ve opened the BOINC Manager, selected Advanced -> Select Computer and entered \'climateprediction.net\' in the Hostname box (with my password in the corresponding box), but nothing happens - after about a minute an error box pops up \"BOINC is not able to connect to a BOINC client\".
Meanwhile the screen saver still operates as expected.
What is going wrong and how could I fix it? Thanks!

Don\'t put ANYTHING in the 2 boxes, just click OK.

And the screen saver is a waste of cpu clock cycles. We advise against using it.
