If BOINC is exited manually, the client_state.xml and client_state_prev.xml files contain the correct URL and port. On starting from login or restarting from an intentional exit, the proxy URL and port number are programatically changed and the client_state.xml file contains the new, incorrect URL and port number. BOINC operates correctly when the URL and port are correctly entered by means of either UI.

An obfuscated example of the change is: correct URL "proxyserver.mycompany.com" port 81, incorrect URL "proxy.mycompany.com" port 80. It may be coincidental, but the incorrect URL that appears is the hostname of the our network's automatic proxy configuration script (missing the rest of the file path to the script and with the wrong port number).

I will send any needed files or run appropriate diagnostics to aid whomever may attempt to resolve this error.

This was verified with Wireshark. Because the proxy client is still active, no connection to BOINC servers occurs.

Comments: Posted by: arnaud_71fr Date: 8:50 PM 11-25-2006 I have the following problem: Machine 1: running Windows XP with Boinc 5.7.5 Machine 2: running Linux Suse 10 with Boinc 5.4.9

On Machine 2, the network activity is always suspended. On Machine 1, network activity is active.

When connecting to Machine 2 with the Boinc Manager 5.7.5 of Machine 1, the network activity goes from suspended to active automatically on Machine 2.

See also the attachment ("BOINCcast" skin). The original color of the "spacer" is blue and not grey.

In this case also the complete sacrifice of the "spacer" as a separate graphic element is recommended. Especially when there are horizontal color changes in the "project area background" image the integration of one "spacer" at 3 different positions is a problem for the skin design. The "spacer" image is in this kind of use a graphic restriction. Better are 3 different "spacer" images or more better no "spacer" image. If somebody needs a graphic "spacer" between the buttons, this can be realized also with the "project area background" image.
