I seem to be CONSTANTLY having to merge my computer listings. Currently I am running the following: 23310 jeremy 46.90 603.79 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz Pentium Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition, Service Pack 1, (05.01.2600.00) 50873 robert 17.45 304.27 AMD Athlon(tm) XP qzsossor Pentium Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition, (05.01.2600.00) Issue #1: As you can see the host 50873 is being reported strangely... I have no idea what a "qzsossor" is, but I know I don't have one. Issue #2: Host 50873 robert keeps getting duplicated on my computer list. I'll merge them together, go to work - come home and ++POOF++ it is split again. What gives? What causes this? How do I prevent it? Issue #3: This may just be a coincidence, however I RARELY am able to get both computers to download WUs at the same time. When one is able to get some, the other isn’t. Why? Thanks for any help you can provide on this. |

This problem is known to the devs and has been arround for a while, what seems to mostly happen is the client_state.xml file gets trash data in it and forces Boinc to do a project reset hence your new hosts all the time. Mine did one yesterday at completion of a WU. It is being very hard to track whats causing this. |

It seems evident that qz...ossosor means "your AMD type processor. The second processor seems to be a Pentium. Hence two computers with a different type of processor. Hence and correct considered by the software as two different machines... Consequence not mergeable together, since results on different machine types. Logical. Greetings from Belgium ;)) |
