Hi Patrick and Craig; Thanks a million, I would and thousands of others would never have guessed NetworkManager was BOINC's problem in a thousand years.

No new units would download. boincmgr complained about a lack of a connection -- BINGO. I re-booted just to see. No joy -- BINGO I then added '/sbin/service boinc-client restart' to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and re-booted once again. --BINGO Everything was up and running. New work units were down loaded automatically and boinc is happily processing away as I write. N.B. For anyone following this saga and has a similar problem notice one correction. The line is '/sbin/service boinc-client restart', not '/sbin/service boinc restart'. Re: Bug reporting. I think this bug is worth reporting, although you probably know better which details to report regarding NetworkManager. Some poor unlucky shmuck could get caught from 2 days to a week trying to figure out what was wrong. Once again, thanks very much to both of you, and the others that tried to give me a hand. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
