Seems there's some communication between BOINC components, local to a PC, that looks like outside network activity. I just installed Windows 7. Its network access tray icon has no animation as in previous versions. I found this. It behaves just like Zonealarm. If BOINC is active it flashes continually. If I exit BOINC it only responds to real network traffic. Is there a way to fix this problem? Thanks, Tom ID: 64369 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Unfortunately, you can only change the blink rate, and set it to activate at boot time or not. Tom ID: 64371 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
