BOINC was running fine for a few hours, then all of a sudden,I get an error "BOINC manager is not able to connect to a BOINC client". IT WAS RUNNING FINE. I haven't made any changes to the computer at all. When I close BOINC and restart it, my projects appear for about 3 seconds, then everything blanks out and the error message appears. I have tried to repair BOINC, but I still get the error. Before I get suggestions of "check your firewall settings", please note that IT WAS RUNNING FINE FOR SEVERAL HOURS TODAY before this error showed up, and I've been running BOINC for a little over a year on this computer without this problem.

This sounds similar to another current thread, here

So, are you using Vista?
Did you install in the default location?

Nope, running XP.

Hello,

Same here, running fine almost a year under vista business(Boinc 5.10.30), then "can't connect to local host".

Struggling since more than 2 hrs, uninstall boinc 5.10.30, install boinc 5.10.45
in f:Boinc(not program file), diabled user account...
Is it an april fools day prank ?

note: no problem under Win XP based computers!

Boinc client not responding...

I just talked to a BOINC helper on skype, who determined that BOINC.exe crashes whenever it's started. I have installed the newest version of BOINC, and I still get the same exact problem.

Did start client by hand (from the folder) running ok, but manager can not connect to client.

Found out what the problem was. Apparently there's a problem with trying to upload to LHC that causes BOINC.exe to crash.


"You can try to edit the client_state.xml file, scroll all the way down and edit the network option to show <user_network_request>3</user_network_request>

That means you suspended network activity. " - taken from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=2563#16170

I did this and it worked, BOINC.exe didn't crash on start up. I'll try to upload my work when LHC is back up and running.

Thanks, It Works

Yep, that'll work. But now one has to decide how long they want to wait for the LHC server to back on-line to upload outstanding WU's to get credit for processing time. In the meantime no new WU's can be received, and no other WU's can be uploaded either.

Advice: check your project WU deadlines and adjudicate accordingly.

There is a scheme to get rid of problem child LHC WU's stuck in the upload transfer queue.

Since yesterday, four of my machines are unable to run Boinc -- with the exact problem described here. I'll try the fix recommended above and let you know if it works.

LHC is back on line.

I'm curious- from http://distributedcomputing.info/projects.html, I get

LHC unreachable, and their website still shows down for maintenance.

Can anyone confirm LHC is up?

Being a little gun-shy, I thought I'd wait.

I've connected, and the LHC units uploaded just fine.

We're good to go.

I was trying to debug BOINC to see why it was crashing when the upload happened.
