1) Message boards : Number crunching : Host page errors (Message 5226) Posted 15 Sep 2008 by Greg C. TNO Post: Strange things sometimes happen if you configured your hosts for this project through the host dialog or BOINCview, but your host is connected to an account manager (e.g. BAM) that doesn't know about that. I'm not using an account manager, but it seems that it is a one-way thing, i.e. changes you make on the host side do not get sent to the account manager. So if you use an account manager, be careful to make all project connections only there and avoid the host side configuration. Interesting, I am also not using one (manager) at this time, but this is good to know.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Host page errors (Message 5224) Posted 15 Sep 2008 by Greg C. TNO Post: Spawning new Host ID's is a problem which occurs from time to time. However, your hosts are hidden and you haven't given us any info to work with, so there's no way to say anything conclusive about what the problem might be. Alinator Well there isn't much else to say. I have been running Milky Way for quite some time, and now, randomly, the host page is doing wacky stuff. I have detached and re-attached, manually merged hosts to eliminate the goofy ones - and they keep popping back up. In 11 years of DC computing I have never had host id's go psychotic, but I have had hosts recently disappear from MW@H, like another recent post. The bottom line is it really doesn't matter, all hosts are getting proper credit regardless, it's just rather annoying.
