Hi there
----------------------------------------I have installed the agent at my workplace (using http proxy) and BOINC is causing network problems: Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server)... Followed by: Your computer has lost the lease to its IP address.. Our network lease time is around 3 days. I leave my pc on all the time and whilst I don't lose connection every time, it happens often. When I disable BOINC there are no connection problems. Thanks in advance [Edit 1 times, last edit by Mont at Oct 12, 2009 3:15:41 AM] |

Don't know, I've got DHCP active on the router, BUT I've pre-assigned IP addresses configured so randomly connected devices a random IP and the fixed devices always the same.
----------------------------------------Can you have a look in the BOINC Local prefs "Disconnect when done" I've got that box ticked. I guess that whilst BOINC is communicating, indeed the IP can't be renewed, so there will always be chance moments when that happens right when the IP lease expires.
