Internet Security (Trend Micro) logged five time denials against accesses to “climateprediction.net\\hadcm3trans_5.44_windows_intelx86.exe” in the last month.
It seems two CPDN tasks are running without trouble.
Are they normal accesses by CPDN server ? If so, I need to change settings of Internet Security to permit the access.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you\'ll need to change the Trend Micro settings to permit this access. Most security software never sees this as a problem, but some types do. If I remember correctly, when I first started CPDN I got popups from my Symantec/Norton firewall asking whether to allow the contacts so I just let it create a rule allowing this access.

In the READMEs linked in my signature there\'s a section about access and network problems.

Thank you for your advise. I\'ve changed the Micro Trend settings.
I also have learnt much from the READMEs.

I hope you have no trouble contacting the server now.

Yes, the READMEs are very useful because they concentrate on what members of this project need. There\'s lots of useful information about BOINC itself here.
