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
