Here's the skinny. I installed Seti on another machine...it connected just fine.....downloaded work. Everything was fine. Then...... I needed to change the name of the PC.......

Now it wont return work. This particular PC is in another location right now so I can't look at the logs but it's definitely not sending work back in.

Is there some file(s) that I need to edit in the Boinc directory? If so, can I edit these files without screwing up the install or throwing up some red flag? This machine has already finished a bunch of work so I don't want to wipe it out and reinstall.

Hopefully there is some solution although I am somewhat doubtful based on the pre-assigned computer_id from the Seti Boinc website....

But I still have my paws crossed Big Smile

I trolled through the SETI website and couldn't find anything and I didn't notice a search feature for the ol' message boards (although I could be screwed up in the head).

sometimes, my BOINC just doesn't connect properly when you start it up after boot.

it will sit disconnected ....
reboot it. usually worx after that.
I don't know what is slightly different in the startup spec that the client doesn't start up properly under the manager ....
