Hi there

I keep getting this message since this morning:

I have had no problems with BOINC in the past, and I have reset the project many times. Does anyone know the answer?

Many thanks

Richard

Hi Richard. It looks like you now have two hosts recorded, and the second, new one, has now received some work. I've never understood why this occurs. But you can combine the numbers from the two hosts back together if you like.

Perhaps you were trying to connect during the few hours that the project was down today? (See news area on Rosetta homepage).

As computer servers go, the Rosetta servers seem very stable and are almost always available. But I'd suggest you consider increasing the BOINC setting in your general preferences for "connect every ... days". The default is .1 days (i.e. 2.4hrs). Increasing this to, say .5 days or higher will give you some cushion of work to do during any such future server outages.

Hi there

Thanks for the reply. I have now increase the amount of days to 5, good tip. How do I combine the two hosts?

Just click the "Participants" link at the top of the forum page you are viewing now. Then click on the view computers on this account link. Then click one of the hosts, and at the bottom of the screen you should see a link for merge. And clicking it should show the other in the list where you select it and continue the merge operation.

Thanks for the answer, it is working all fine now.
