I have been running S@H, Prirates@home and CP.net under BOINC 4.13 for about a month now. Just the other day I noticed the message logs showing pirates saying it could not connect to the server because I did not have a key. Then it would connect and get the message no work from server. After a quick look I noticed that CP.net was not showing under the projects tab, but I did have 2 pirates. Seems BOINC or one of the other projects has pulled a name change on me. The computer in question is a AMD 2600+ with 256megs of ram.
Below is the message log from the restart after upgrading to 4.14. Upgraded again to 4.15 as soon as it was released but CP.net is still showing in projects as Pirates

Is there a way to save my CP.net work or do I have to detach from CP and then reinstall and start on a new WU. Any help on this one would be GREAT

---

Try forcing an update on the bogus pirates project. It is most likely just the name that is bad an it will fix itself with the next successful RPC to the affected project.

I've been having this same problem. My CPDN stopped reporting timesteps because it now tries to connect to Seti's website instead.
