Don't need any more like the above. That's Seti stuff not Einstein@Home and these are the E@H boards :). Seti has been down a while now with power problems.

When you did the "Update" did you get any messages from E@H??

I just had another look at your comps. You now have 4 pretty powerful boxes which each only have 1 E@H WU. Two of those have timed out. This means they are not getting any significant run time. You can't have your share set at 66% to Seti and 33% to E@H otherwise those two wouldn't have timed out. I'm guessing your comps should be able to complete a WU every 20,000 secs or so, ie 5.5 hours.

Edit: If you want to save yourself crunching two expired WUs, you should detach E@H on the two boxes that have expired and then do a fresh attach to project. As it stands, for one you will definitely get no credit and for the second, which is still pending, you might get credit if you are lucky enough to be able to complete the result before a quorum is formed. If that's all double-dutch to you then just detach both expireds and start again.

If I were you this is what I'd do. Go to your account page on each website and check your project specific prefs (ie Seti prefs and E@H prefs respectively). Set the resource share on each one to 100 for the time being. This will give each project 50% of your comps' resources. Later on if you want Seti to have 66.7% and E@H to have 33.3% all you need to do is set Seti to 200. It is a bit hard to extract more than 100% of the available resources :).

Next check your general prefs and change the "connect to network" interval to about 0.5 days. When you finish that, "update" each project in the boinc gui. How you do that depends on the version you are running. The instructions I gave you previously were for boinc v4.19, which I assume you are most likely to have.

Please come back here and report all prefs values that you changed and what they were before and after. Also report any E@H specific messages that come up in the messages tab. I'm interested in how you managed to restrict each comp to just one WU which was then able to time out. That's a pretty neat trick unless there's some deeper more sinister problem. You will need to do the update on each of your 4 boxes. I guess I need to ask... You have been running your comps for a reasonable length of time during the last week, have you?

> boxes from my info you see ive detached and restarted them hope it helps

If you've detached in the past that explains why you show more than one computer. Each time you detach and re-attach, a new entry will be created for that computer. If you go to your main account page and click on "view computer" you will see the list. Choose any one of them by clicking the "computer id" link at the left. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and there is an option reading "merge this computer". Click that link and you can combine the 4 separate entries back into 1 computer.
