I can reproduce this behavior. I've a similar network setup, instead that my
router is always connected to the internet. To reproduce these "freeze
states" I've just unplugged the network cable from the computer where the
boinc-client was running.
When the BOINC Manager is connected to the client and the client tries to
upload finished tasks but has no connection to the internet, the BM is frozen
too, which means that it does not redraw any of it's GUI widgets.
An excerpt from the client's stdoutdae.txt during such a freeze is attached.
The following debug flags were set in cc_config.xml:
<http_debug>1</http_debug>
<http_xfer_debug>1</http_xfer_debug>
<guirpc_debug>1</guirpc_debug>
<network_status_debug>1</network_status_debug>
I'll now check if this was already reported in upstream's BTS.
Grüße,
Frank
