Added: Computer tab MAC address column, this allows dynamic IP addresses to be used. Use: use_mac for the IP Address and fill in the MAC address int the next column
:-\ too geeky and who would remember the magic word?
What about dropping this "use_mac" completely and use the MAC value, if the IP is empty?

Maybe the empty is now reserved for the computer name = domain name.
So a blank IP should work.
It's experimental for now, if it works I will make it easier for the average user.
Seems to work nicely with "use_mac" :) but not at all without it.
After a few minutes of use, I've realized that notebooks often get a connection over either a cable, or WiFi. What about a comma-separated list of MAC addresses? :P

OK I see, don't have XP anymore, but I will find a way around this for 1.55.
BoincTasks uses a function introduced in Vista. It is needed to shutdown more elegantly.

I assume this can be expected on 32 bit WinXP as well?

I expect so, but the XP 64 is an odd beast. I linked in a library, that should be loaded dynamically, but not on XP.

You should probably check first, whether you can load it?

Yep, I did add an XP check but, the docs where a bit confusing.
First check > XP load the library.
This helps closing down more elegantly and not unexpectedly.
I received the same error on XP32. How do we link the library and where do we find it to link and where do we link it?
Saw there was a version 1.55. downloaded it had same problem as it downloaded 1.54.
So went back to version 1.53.

Interesting 1.55 where did you find that one. :o
1.53 is the XP version for now, until 1.55 arrives with a fix.

Maybe the usual download path pattern? ???

I made a typing error :o
The XP problem is fixed. ;D The function now loads only when needed.
Now I need some XP testers, to see if the fix works: download 1.55 (http://www.efmer.eu/download/boinc/boinc_tasks/unified/setup_32_64_boinc_tasks_1_5_5.exe)
Sorry for the late report.
I'm not seeing any problem with an XP x86 machine.
