When I startup BOINC manager, it always automaticall connects to localhost, except that now it won't. It times out and gives me "BOINC Manager is not able to connect to a BOINC Client. Would you like to try to connect again?". If I say yes, it times out. If I say no, it leaves me disconnected. I can then try advanced/select computer and choose localhost, but I get the same result. I suspect corruption in a configuration file. This was happening with version 5.10.20, so I tried re-installing 5.10.18 but I get the same result, so I'm back to 5.10.20.

It turned out to be a firewall problem (Windows OneCare got in the way).
All is well.
