Whenever I run the GUI, it tries to connect to localhost and then says "connection failed" and stays disconnected. Typing in my SETI@Home account details doesn't help at all. How can I fix this? Running Gentoo 2005.1 Stage 3, on an AthlonXP 2400+ box. ID: 165926 ·

It is these that connect to the net and download and upload work. I use the "run_client" script (with the changes needed on my system) to start the server. Once the BOINC server is running you can run the GUI to attach to and control the projects you choose to particpate in. Good luck, David Stites Pullman, WA USA ID: 167103 ·
