AFAIK, the BOINC icon doesn't report anything but progress of current 
workunits.
With the BOINC Manager open, all messages, including errors, are reported 
via the message tab & if you're not attached to any projects there should 
only be a few messages there.
Once again, AFAIK there is no part of the BOINC software that is designed to 
sever a network connection.
