I am running Bonic on a variety of computers, either Windows 2000 Pro or various XP pro and NT Server. However, I install bonic on Windows 2003 Server, installs no problem but when bonic starts up, it just sits there with the message on lower right task area, \'connecting to local host\'. Last November I had bonic running on it fine. With upgrades, no joy, including, Version 5.2.12 -- gave up on version 5.2.13 -- same problem. Any suggestions please? |

Probably a firewall problem. The two parts in the new 5.* versions talk to each other through ports, and so need extra ports open. Read <a href=\"http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=3771#18738\"> this</a> post by John Keck for details. |

I believe that Windows 2003 server is locked down by default. You will have to add the CPDN URL to your trusted sites on the server. |
