I've noticed that since last week, I had one host that is added as a new host everytime it connects. Now, I have two hosts multiplying like rabbits. I merged over 65 hosts today and was wondering if it's an Easter Bunny thing, or should I NOT connect any new hosts to this project?! 1st: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7608458 2nd: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7624753 The only thing I've done differently with these new hosts is use BAM for initial setup. However, I did not select LHC to 'attach by default', which has me perplexed???!!!??? ID: 16676 · Reply Quote

Not as convienient but I dont have to merge too much anymore. Let's crunch for our future. ID: 16736 · Reply Quote
