The pending result was returned on 27. August; the result returned on 28th. August is not pending.
It is wondrous.

*usually* uninstalling and reinstalling is enough, yes, but in this matter it did not help.

I've tried it several times, it was not o.k.

I have not deattached. I have made a backup and then deinstalled boinc, then purged the directory, then installed boinc new, then attached LHC. Now I have 2 computer-IDs for the same computer. And if I have a great idea (how I can upload the old WUs), then I can restore the backup. And that's the reason, that I have not merged the clients up to now.
Today I feel like Schrödingers cat !

Thank you, Fuzzy and horvathd. Before I removed the BOINC folder I have tried that, what you write. But the result was bad. The reason may be, that a new installed BOINC use the old client_state.xml and other files.
So I purged the root-directory of BOINC, but not the directorys projects and slots. Then BOINC knew, that projects are attached and downloaded some WUs [edit/] and gave me a new computer-ID [/edit], but BOINC had forgotten, that there are WUs, waiting for upload.
It is really difficult...

First, thanks for your help and excuse my bad english.
Outgoing ports on the router are open (the 3. Boinc-computer on the router works fine). I have also connected one "bad" computer to another router - with no better result.
There was no change in the XP firewall, there was no autimatical Windows-update since the last correct upload of crunched WUs. I have also deactivated the firewall - with no better result.

Now, on one computer I have made a backup on Boinc, then deinstalled and removed the whole Boinc-directory. Then I installed Boinc again and attached LHC. And it works fine. But all WUs waiting (in the backup) are lost, also 205 hours of CPDN.
I think, there must be a failure in client_state.xml ore another file. But I don't know where and how I can correct it. And it is mysterious, that the same failure occurs and the same time on 2 computers and the 3. computer is o.k.
Is there any chance to salvage the crunched WUs, so that I can upload them?

Greetings

Addendum:
If I select "File / select computer..." I can show the Boinc-work on the other computer, this connection is o.k. It seems, that boinc only refuse the connection to LHC, CPDN etc.
[edit/] It is also not possible to "Attach to new projekt". [/edit]

I am confused.
And 20 WUs wait for upload...

My router shows, that boinc doesn't want to communicate.
The internet-connection of the 2 computers is o.k. (Browser, ping, mail-program etc.).

No upload is possible, no download, no update.
Only LHC is running. CPDN, Einstein and Seti are suspended. But at CPDN etc. there is also no update possible.
My router shows, that the computer (Boinc) does not try to connect to the internet.
Firewall is o.k.
The 3. computer is o.k.

What can this be? Any help is welcome.

Yesterday in the morning I got 3 WUs on my computer 21404. After that until this morning, there was the message "Project is down" and "Server can't open database".
Because my other computers could sent results and got new WUs, I restartet Boinc on 21404. And then I got the message "daily quota exceed".
Looking in my account on lhc I saw, that since yesterday more than 250 WUs are sent to my computer. But here are only 3.
Where is the rest?

First, i tried the easy way: I deleted the WU v64lhc96-18s16_18515_1_sixvf_531.zip from the lhc-directory. And look, it was possible to update!

Thanks for your answer.
But i tried to update the projekt some times with the result - see above.
So i will detached and reattached...
