Since yesterday, I am experiencing the following strange behaviour in the BOINC manager on some (not all) of my hosts:
after uploading tasks, in the "Status" column of the Manager it says "uploaded, ready for reporting ("meldebereit")", and in the "Status column" of the "Projects" tab it says "communication deferred "- with times up to several hours. In the event log it says "project is temporarily shut down for maintenance" - which cannot be true because on some others of my hosts, this problem does not exist.
So what's going wrong with some of hosts ?

thank you, Harri, for the information. I somehow missed the message you are referring to. Everything now clear to me :-)
