it's a bit nuts you have to restart the BOINC client I did use the read config files option

the change which made it work was using find computers instead of typing in the IP address manually in the list of computers And I can't see how these two would be any different

the boinc client is running because I'm looking at the remote computer with remote utilities, and anyway it says "password".  if it's not running it can't connect and displays this differently.

The password only changes when the Boinc client restarts.
Find computers reads the password from the local machine, but the toolbox can read and restart the BOINC client.

The most likely cause is that the BOINC client did not restart.

Workaround - use "find computers" - not sure why the initial problem was there.

I've just set up a machine with a fresh Windows installed and put on boinc and made absolutely sure the password in the text file on the remote machine is exactly what I've entered into boinc tasks here but it keeps saying password in the status.  Boinc toolbox is full of ticks.

I have several other machines set up and have never had this problem before

Questions / Re: Upgraded to BoincTasks 1.9...

Thanks for getting back to me Fred.

Yes, this is a 'strange one', as an earlier version of BoincTasks was running perfectly happily on this machine for 'many years' - at least 7+ years, probably a lot longer, without any issues. At times, I should just 'leave things alone' (but, being a computer techie, I find it hard to resist).

Tonight, I'll continue trying to get it to work, and if I do find out why, I'll come back and post my findings - in case anyone else ever has similar issues.

Strange, it shows a password error, make sure you have the right password.
Maybe enter the password in BoincTasks again.
Otherwise a security tool on you pc like a virus scanner may block the connection.

Or maybe the computer is too old, I haven't tested it on Win 10 for a long time.

Questions / SOLVED: Upgraded to BoincTasks...

Last post by gb009761 - August 20, 2025, 09:57:57 PM

Hi, I'm looking for some help.

I've been using BoincTasks for'many,many years', and after getting a new computer/downloading the latest version (which works), I decided to upgrade from an earlier version on a different/older computer - one that had been working fine before, I just wanted to use the new features. Unfortunately, since then, I've been having issues with it...

Basically, nothing seems to connect. From the log file, I can see the following lines repeated;
20 August 2025 - 22:08:59 Connect, password ---- Host: Franciss-THINK, IP: localhost, Port: 31416, scheduler request host ID doesn't match authenticator (Password)
20 August 2025 - 22:09:00 Connect ---- Try to connect to: Host: Franciss-THINK, IP: localhost, MAC: , Port: 31416, Thread ID: 10328

I've tried doing a 'clean install' (i.e., removing the previous version(s) in totality and downloading again), but I'm still not getting past this stage. Thus, nothing is showing up on the Projects/Tasks tab, and I'm getting a 'computer not connected' symbol in the 'sidebar computer selection' sidebar (in the 'Status' field against my localhost computer, it's showing 'Password, Connected').

Questions / Re: Incorrect core temp

Last post by fred - July 27, 2025, 12:54:26 PM

I would like to get it off the graph, is there a way to make it blank or have the graph not show it

C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle\examples tthrottle.xml

Adjust the affected core by -15 (degrees) and the graph should be at 0.

make tthrottle.xml and paste:
<TThrottle>
  <PROCESSOR>
    <core_adjust>-15;0;0;0</core_adjust>
  </PROCESSOR>
</TThrottle>

Place the correct tthrottle.xml in C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle\
