Each time I reboot, I must go to the \"Advanced\" tab and click on \"Select computer\". Then I must click on the drop down box and pick \"local host\". Shouldn\'t the software connect automatically each time I reboot?
Thanks.

Yes it should. But some other program sometimes takes over the port used by the 2 parts of BOINC for talking to each other. (The \"local host\".)
Often this is a Windows program.

Even though the port(s) used by BOINC are registered, MS ignores this and uses whatever they want to. There have been new ones registered over the years, the latest being \"Pi\" - 31416. This is used by the newer versions of BOINC, and has more success avoiding being taken over, but it still happens now and then. :(

Depending on your version of BOINC, it may not be saving settings until you manually exit. So what I would suggest is to do the setting(s) as you want then do a normal quit. This should save your settings and work the next reboot.
