Is there something wrong with my preferences as they are set up at my account here? Could it be something with they way BAM is doing something, or is it that you have blocked my computer from receiving any more W/U. In any case, I would like to get some for my computer to chew on since my husband is kicking my ass in the numbers game, lol.

well if you have your preferences set on boinc not the web site to more than conect at o.25 and keep 1 day of work then you will not recieve any work well that happened to me.

Also how many other projects are you running because if you are running more than a couple of projects it will show up in messages that boinx is already at 99% of work load and you will not get any tasks from this project
Smoke me a kipper ill be back for breakfast

In the BOINC Manager, under the projects tab, i click update for MilkyWay. Then i go and check the messages tab and when it connects to the MilkyWay servers, it is requesting 0 (zero) seconds of work, aand i dont get any W/U. Whereas my husbands computers are asking for a specific amount of seconds of work and he gets about 20 W/U's at a time

Sounds like your system has work from other projects that BOINC needs to make some progress on before downloading more MW tasks. (Climate Prediction, perhaps?) Have you checked the debt stats on that host? You might consider increasing MW’s resource share if you think it’s not getting a large enough proportion of your CPU-time.

Well, you're asking for no work, and getting it ;)

Your husband's machine is getting the maximum allowed at a time, i.e. 20 units.

To get some work, make sure your cache is set to a reasonable length, say 1 day. Then suspend all projects apart from MW and make sure MW is set for 'allow new tasks'. It should automatically go get some work. If not, try pressing 'update'. Have a look at the BOINC manager config on your husband's machine and match it if this doesn't work.

If it's still not asking for work, despite being 'dry', it could be another project gone critical or high priority. Most servers don't worry about this on suspended projects, I don't know about MW though. I've only ever had this happen on the RS project when a CPDN unit had gone past it's deadline (it had been suspended for a year!) and RS wouldn't send work. I just aborted the CPDN WU and all was well. Like I say, never seen this on any other project.

My guess is that you're overcommitted on other projects.

Let us know how you get on :)
