This is exactly what I am trying to point out. The fact that Seti and LHC differ in what a specific computer venue is, is allowed and NOT updated from the source project. Only the venue settings (General Preferences) are update from project to project.

Hmmmmm... Probably some of the LHC folks should comment on this. I'm out of ideas :-(

It's not LHC specific, its ANY BOINC projects

Then why 8 Boinc project servers, which are conected by my computers, show exact the same settings?

(General Preferences) are indeed copied from project to project. But what venue a single computer is actually using depends on the source project, all others do not matter. I'm 99.5% certain the venue setting for any given computer is not copied from project to project. Check this out:

Notice that the venue this computer is USING is school from Rosetta which is the source project. Other projects are set to other venues, but they are not being used. All other projects have been contacted since I last changed Rosetta. (with the exception of Einstein which is down right now)

You've got me! I've never checked this in my remote host's logs or its settings at the contacted project servers. Doing it now...

From logs: until 30.8.2005 it said '[SAH|SAHb|PPAH|ORB] Computer ID: nnn; location: school; project prefs: default', since 2.9.2005 there is additionally '[EAH] Computer ID: nnn; location: work; project prefs: default', at 22.10.2005 '[Rosetta]; work; default' came to the list and at 29.1.2006 '[Pirates]; work; default', it is so util now.

From project servers: the same pattern (except of Einstein, currently dead)-:

But I do not remember putting that host to 'School' venue anwhere else than on Seti (which was my source project)... (but i might be possible, in the dark past of Boincing era).

So it stays a puzzle for me too.
