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

I have a similar problem, but in addition I can't shut down my computer
normally. I have to end task on boinc and/or crash it to shut down. I
am running windows 98 OS and 524 Megs memory and mcafee virus and
firewall. I can't control any functions on boinc manager. it slows me
down so much I can't function. I had to uninstall inorder to regain use
of my machine. If I am required to run boinc to download seti I am
going to have to quit, I have been doing it since Oct 1999 and have
logged 8330 computer hours, completing 287 units. It would be a shame.
