Title: Everthing you should now about the connection status.
Post by: fred on May 11, 2010, 01:24:11 PM
The computer side bar shows 2 icons that informs you about the connection status.

(http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/boinc_tasks/images/icon_not_connected.gif) There is no connection.
(http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/boinc_tasks/images/icon_connection_lost.gif) There was a connection but now it's lost.

Clicking on the computer tab gives you some more information about a computer with no connection.

To reconnect:

Click on "all computers" in the computer sidebar or click on a single computer that you like to reconnect. This will start a reconnect sequence.

If you want BoincTasks to try reconnecting on a continues basis, set up a reconnect: Settings BoincTaks - > Extra and fill in 120 in the "= Reconnect every xx seconds".
This will autoconnect every 2 minutes. The downside is that this takes time and may slow down the viewing.

More information about why a connection is lost can be found in the computers tab.

You want more information in the logging?
Change the log.xml in C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\log
Set this option:       <connecting>         1   </connecting>

You find a copy of log.xml in C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\examples\log , copy the file to C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\log and restart BoincTasks.
