hello, I have a question, if I set my boinc under linux preferences to network suspended and set dummy ip, boradcast,gw and dns, will the client continue to work even without network?

I don't know why you would want to set a dummy ip so maybe I don't understand your question.

If BOINC is unable to access the network it will continue crunching whatever tasks it has cached. If it cannot access the network when all the tasks are crunched then it will just sit there quietly and do nothing except try to access the network periodically.

not under linux, boinc depends on the network service, if it is off, boinc is too.

I have BOINC crunching on 3 Linux boxes. I just now set "network activity suspended" in BOINC manager and all 3 are still crunching.

ok, now unplug your cable or shutdown your wireless and check again.

I dont know, the minute I unplug my cable boinc shuts down automatically.

my hosts file shows this:
127.0.0.1 NCC-5001D.StarFleet NCC-5001D localhost
::1 localhost

my hosts file shows this:
127.0.0.1 NCC-5001D.StarFleet NCC-5001D localhost
::1 localhost

The hosts file on 1 of my Linux machines has
127.0.0.1 somename localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

The line starting with ::1 is the ipv6 loopback address. I see yours does not have the 6. That might be the problem but something tells me it's not.

Maybe you don't have your Linux configured to use ipv6?

dont have it configured to ipv6... when ipv6 will hit my country, I'll probably wont be alive... (;

I've changed it to this:
127.0.0.1 NCC-5001D NCC-5001D.StarFleet localhost
::1 NCC-5001D.StarFleet localhost

still not working, the minute I unplug the cable, boinc service goes off

Which version of BOINC are you using?

5.10.45

I've found two solutions, one is to remove the net dependency from init script, another is to load net.lo and set RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING to lo in /etc/conf.d/rc

havent tried the second one yet.

the second one isn't good, stayed with the first one
