hi,
i run the (windows) boinc client on my laptop that switches between networks, some of which have proxies. the problem i have is that even though i have to manually update the proxy values (in advanced->options-> HTTP proxy) --which itself is a little irritating and causes a loss of processing time with the task queue going empty sometimes-- the new settings don't seem to take effect throwing a dialog message World Community Grid couldn't do Internet communication, and no default connection is selected. Please connect to the internet, or select a default connection using Advanced/Options/Connections It takes a restart of the agent for it to pick up the new proxy values and work correctly. Any ideas? bug? best, mataal |

The most simple thing to do that might eleviate the situation is to increase your cache of tasks, and limit Internet access to Boinc.
----------------------------------------Try this at the command prompt, ipconfig -release ipconfig -flushdns Then make the changes. I expect you could create a local config (or prefernce) file with the HTTP Proxy details (an xml file) and just change its details when you need to. Then get Boinc to read either the local config file, under the advanced Tab. I'm not sure about this, just a suggestion. Possibly something like this but I expect you would have to add user name and password, and that's not very secure! <cc_config> <options> <proxy_info> <use_http_proxy>1</use_http_proxy> <http_server_name>192.168.xxx.xxx</http_server_name> <http_server_port>8080</http_server_port> </proxy_info> </options> </cc_config> This thread might be more useful than anything I can suggest, https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...ead,16593_offset,0#131339 Hopefully someone else will be able to advise you on exactly what you should do, [Edit 2 times, last edit by skgiven at May 28, 2010 5:44:00 PM] |
