Insufficient work, requesting more!?

Jos,

Something is very wrong with your BOINC installation. If your machine continues to get a new hostid each day, please just delete your entire existing BOINC installation, and reinstall BOINC. You'll have to re-enter your account ID, and you'll lose any WU currently in progress. But this is preferable to continuing with the current damaged installation.

Good!

I took a look to see if you had returned any successful workunits, and I see none so far. Hopefully you'll complete one or two in the next day and get them uploaded to the server. At that point, we can be pretty confident that everything is working correctly.

Cheers,
Bruce
