Okay. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I was playing around with BOINC and saw the "Attach to Account Manager" option. So I did that on both machines. The XP machine is now accepting work units and the Windows 7 machine at least acknowledges the projects in BOINC.

This is odd as I originally set everything up through gridrepublic and all projects were set up the same wayand milkyway@home took off immediately but the other projects didn't until I did this "attach" function.

Anyway... I'll monitor both machines for the next few hours and see how it all goes down.

Thanks.

I signed up for every one of them through the gridrepublic website by clicking on the Projects tab, then ADD, then selecting them. They all show up as 'active' projects on my home gridrepublic page.

After doing that, I went to each of the projects' websites and logged in. So I know they acknowledge me as being a participant. That is also how I saw that they all had waiting project work units to send out.

Thanks.

Thanks for responding...

My main computer is Windows 7 Pentium D 3.46Ghz (dual core), 64-bit, 4gig memory, nVidia Geforce 250 graphics card, Lots of disk space. All OS and drivers up to date.

My secondary computer is Windows XP Pentium 4 2.8Ghz (dual core), 32-bit, 1gig memory, ATI Radeon X1650 graphics card, Lots of disk space. All OS and drivers up to date.

Both are on DSL broadband and always connected.

I am running BOINC v6.10.43 on both of them.

Both are workingsimilarly... they are running lots of Milkyway@home projects but no others.

Regards, --Phil.

I just started grid computing this last weekend. I am running two computers for grid computing. I have picked five projects to spread across the two computers. If I go to the website for these projects they indicate that servers are up and work units are available and ready to send. Yet after three days, only one project (Milkyway@home) is sending work units (of which I have completed 4 and will complete six more today). The other projects are not sending me any work. Is it a configuration problem with BOINC? I have all projects set at 100% and it indicates that each project will share 20% of the resource time I give them. The other four projects that are NOT sending work even though there appears to be work available are Rosetta@home, Cosmology@home, docking@home, and Einstein@home.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am brand new to grid computing, BOINC, and gridrepublic.

--Phil.
