Hi I want to change the name I give this PC in our home network. Will that impact the model I have running at the moment? The PC is very slow, so it has taken a long time to get where it is today - it would be a shame to waste that! If changing name would stop this model continuing, I will hold off until it is complete. Thanks Steve |

Changing the name shouldn't be a problem, Steve. If you want to be absolutely sure stop BOINC, take a copy of the BOINC directory, change the name and restart with the <b>-update_prefs http://climateprediction.net</b> parameter. That should continue with the same model and update the name on that host's summary page.
