Message Type: Warning Message

This message means that the BOINC Daemon has been getting requests to perform some action by a remote compuer at the listed IP Address, but there is either:

  1. no Remote Hosts File in the BOINC Directory, or
  2. the computer at this IP Address is not listed in the Remote Hosts File.

One reason for getting 300 rejected connections is a badly-programmed program (BoincView in this case) is hammering the computer every 2 seconds even though it isn't getting a reply.

The BOINC Manager will only try a couple times before giving up.
