CP is 75%, SETI is 25%. 4 of my computers are at home and one is at work. Every time I change the \"Location\" of my work computer to be \"Work\" on the cp.net web site, it gets put back to \"Home\" when I select \"Update\" in the BOINC client. The message I get in BOINC is: \"Project prefs: no separate prefs for home; using your defaults\". I thought it was supposed to be the other way around: i.e., a change on the web site propagates to the client. It\'s certainly not working that way. How do I change my computer\'s \"Location\" inside the BOINC client ? or is this a bug ? My computer ID is 8397. I have the exact same problem with two of my home computers. They both think they are \"Work\". If I change their \"Location\" to he \"Home\" on the cp.net web site, they change back to \"Work\" when I update them in the BOINC client. --- bt ID: 4488 · Reply Quote

For some hosts, the Work/Home/School location wouldn't stick. Beaware that even if they do stick, there's another bug where BOINC would sometime just choose to ignore Work/Home/School preferences and applies General preferences to all your hosts no matter what location it's under on the web page. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/dlihooya/logo/logo.htm"><IMG SRC="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=64&trans=off"></A> ID: 4559 · Reply Quote
