How does BOINC 4.25 function? I want to know if there is a page that describes the functionality of BOINC 4.25.
This is how I understand it.I installed BOINC 4.25 on a WIN98.It downloaded Seti client 4.09.It downloaded Seti work.The processes that are running are, C:\XXX\BOINC\BOINC.EXE,
C:\XXX\BOINC\BOINCMGR.EXE,
C:\XXX\BOINC\PROJECTS\SETIATHOME.BERKELEY.EDU\SETIATHOME_4.09_WINDOWS_INTELX86.EXE
C:\XXX\XXX\WINOA386.MOD
BoincMGR.exe and Boinc.exe asked for internet access from my firewall.
BOINC is running SETI and doing work.
BOINCMGR is contantly either accessing the internet or accessing BOINC. My firewall shows this Approx.every 3 seconds.
When I exit BOINCMGR ,SETI still runs as stated on download page but the accessing stops so I know it's BOINCMGR accessing internet or BOINC.
When I deny access to BOINCMGR and BOINC,I cannot see any info in the BOINC Manager window panes.Only when I allow access do I see the info.
Why is this? Even if I check "disable Boinc network access" BOINCMGR still access something.I believe this to be Boinc
