After over 5 years of this project I am done.
After over a year of baby-sitting bonic for seti I am done.
Why? you may ask, who cares? you may think.
Tonight was the last straw.
I shut off my seti machine the other day with about 5 percent left of one wu and 10 percent on another and about a dozen to upload.
Tonight I see seti up and running and figure I best upload these units b4 time runs out on me.
I boot the PC and bonic auto-access my modem as usual, not waiting for me to allow it to cause the default is allow... No big deal, except bonic contacts seti right away and gets a response. Well, I am a bit surprised, a nice surprise in fact. BUT then it hangs up, with all my wu's left to upload and the new wu's to download. Stupid bonic, never could dial out right and still can't even after a year... Well I suppose its designed on and for computers with a perm connection not dial-up... It is seti@youbetterhaveapermconnectiontotheinternetifyouwattousethisprogram after all, not seti@home. So, bonic dials out again as it has figured out it's not done. But, I am getting md5 checksum errors on all the download attempts. So, I figure its time to upgrade to 4.25... Perhaps that version will do better. And it does, 4.25 downloads new wu's just fine but still can't upload my finished wu's. So, hours later it's downloaded all the new wu's (with many failures I might add) but still can't upload all the finished units, only 4 or 5 in over 2.5 hours!!!!. Damn bonic... Now what... I think... Well I figure its gotta dial out on its own when the last one it was working on during this version upgrade/download/upload baby-sitting began tonight. So, I check on it about an hour later and what do I find out? Ver 4.25 can't access my modem!!!, bonic now fails to even dial out... Thats it, I don't have any more time to spend holding this projects hand. A year is more than enough time to get bonic to upload/download using a simple modem connection. IMO the project developers don't care about dial-up users enough to fix the problem. So, to allow you all the bandwidth I would use, I quit. To prevent the project developers from ignoring one more dial-up user, I quit. Just so I can't be called a whiner by all you bleeding-edge, pasty-faced I got more wu's than you, race to the top score, project developer butt kissers who are reading this. I quit.

Enjoy and good luck. Your all gonna need it as the Seti@home classic users start to log in and find out the status of this "project".

Generally, I've found most dialup connections errors are due to local configuration problems within Windows. As for the chronic accessing, I've solved it by either detaching from a down project or suspending network access.

But I guess I'm just one of those "pasty-faced project team butt kissers" who has the "bleeding edge" dialup connection (i.e. one that works). Or could be I just don't take problems so personally.

The System is overloaded at the moment, everyone is trying to connect at the same time. ie: shoving 3 days of work into a 15 minute window
I have seen this before when there was an outage, just sitback and relax and everything will evan out.
to avoid running out of work under preferances set it to 3 or 4 days, another thing to do is crunch for another project.

I have several units to upload and they will get there, I have downloaded a few new ones and my machine is working away.

this link is to the cognet link and as you can see after the outage it has been slamed.

John Franxman, had you taken the time to check the messages at the front page of Seti at any time before that, you'd have noticed that the following warning had been given days ago:

March 18, 2005
The project will be down for 4 hours this coming Tuesday, March 22, starting at 14:00 UTC. Our building will be without power as campus tries to find the reason for the power losses we experienced a couple of weeks ago.


UTC means GMT, means English time. Just to avoid confusion. So that's for you, depending on wherever you live in the USA, at start time 10:00am Eastern Time to 06:00am Pacific Standard Time.

The time out would last at least 4 hours, but it was closer to 6 in the end. So that still falls nicely within the time you tried contacting Seti to upload your units. The -113 error means ERR_GETHOSTBYNAME (Could not resolve hostname), which is correct as the whole project was offline, due to the people at Berkeley trying to find the cause behind the sudden power-outages.

As for the consistency of calling the client bonic, I'd expected that if you'd run the client for a year, you could have known it was BOINC, not bonic, bionic or whatever else people make of it these days.

Uh, actually, probably not.

There are three nameservers for the SSL.Berkeley.EDU domain.

One of them, Sunspot.SSL.Berkeley.EDU may or may not be at the lab.

The other two are ADNS1.Berkeley.EDU, and ADNS2.Berkeley.EDU. These are also name servers for the Berkeley.EDU domain, and are very likely in two different facilities on campus, near two of the boundary routers (for redundancy).

I'd be really surprised to find that either were involved in the power outage.

The -113 error probably means he wasn't dialed in when the DNS query timed out.

That is probably as much a problem with dialup networking as anything else.

That said, it's probably something that John has screwed up, that and the fact that he's working way too hard babysitting the machine.

Nothing said about me not noticing his PM time and my AM explanation?
/me shakes off dust. ;)

He did manage to post on here, with his logs. So that means to that side that his PC and his connection was okay. Maybe we need to ask what P2P program he was using to upload stuff with?

Well, when some process on the machine starts requesting a name, or otherwise trying to query the internet, dial up networking is supposed to be provoked into dialing out.

This error:


3/22/2005 11:39:21 PM||Can't resolve hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] (host name not found)

... says that at 11:39:21 PM, the BOINC client wasn't able to get an IP address for the BOINC server.

In other words, the DNS lookup failed.

... and the usual reason is that at 11:39:21 PM, he wasn't connected to the 'net.

It was a different time when he posted.

I don't know if this is a BOINC problem or not, but I don't think so.

I may add, it's been a while (approx. 5 years) since I last used my 56k-V90 modem. I was so glad I could turn my 7 year old modem off and step onto a 1Mbit/128kbit connection (during these years upgraded to a 8000kbit/1024kbit connection for the same price ;-)), yet it doesn't immediately explain the "Ver 4.25 can't access my modem!!!, bonic now fails to even dial out..."

Of course, Boinc never dialed out, it would always be the Windows Internet Connection doing that for him. So that leaves us with the following options:

a) his ISP went down.
b) he was completely inundated in spyware.
c) while he was online, some self-executing worm snuck on his system taking his connection at the time completely down for its own purposes.
d) he kicked his phone cable out of the socket, while tapping and waiting.
e) he just didn't have patience enough.

What do you think, Ned? a, c or e? ;)

Well well, seems at least one person seems to be getting a clue, once they realized what time it was... Thanks Ageless for enertaining the idea that the problem may not be caused by the user. FYI win2000 dual processor rock steady and configured properly. I have a number of apps that have no problem using the modem when required i.e. the programs access the modem and hang up at the proper time... still. It is BONIC ver 4.25 installed as a service that was the problem. That was the P2P program used to attempt to upload and did download some new wu's. As long as connection was manually made. So congrats Ageless, your brain functions, even if anti and post meridian does seem to cause you a bit of confusion... I would also suggest a short course of reading for comprehension. Also, sorry if I confused you by not using CAPs to type out the word bonic. Perhaps this will help you: bonic = BONIC = POS(not point of sale).

Ned, who did realize that yes BONIC failed to connect with the -113 error, however, it was not me who failed to dial out it was bonic, thats supposed to be part of it's job is it not? A shame you are so sure the error is due to my inexperience with computers. FYI I have been in the biz since the dr-dos days (and still am), my days of debugging for fun are long over. To me computers are more like hammers, I know exactly how they work. Perhaps the service install was the problem, I don't care. Your also right when you observed I was working way to hard to babysit, but the baby is not the machine or the OS configuration. It is BONIC all the way, all the way to the trash.
BTW It took me 1 hour to get our UPS's to gracefully shut down my servers at work, APC makes nice stuff. Although I do seem to remember that the bi-directional serial cable was a option I had to special order as well.
I also have working experience in electrical wiring, commercial and residential. If it runs on electricity I have worked on one sort or another, from digital watches to large 3 phase motors, from computers to tape storage libraries. So, Ned check yerself, perhaps your information was incomplete, you should have some facts to spout a probabilty curve.

Brainsmasher, Claudius, Chiana and Brian Oliver, your all off topic. Nuff said.

G Pascal O Cianaigh , PFC, I did read the front page. I think you also could use a longer course of reading for comprehension, just because your name is Pascal pulls no weight with me, its been a dead language for years.

Murasaki, Your 1/3 right in your statements. Guess which one...

That said, keep your coments comming. I enjoy a good belly laugh and look forward to all the flame. Perhaps someone will even smell the coffee brewing, trouble is comming when all the new users arrive. Many will be dial-up's and that should make these boards smoke with flames...

I'm happy you got your connection to dial up, truly I am. But since you decided to emphasize it:

It's not Bonic, or BONIC, it's BOINC. If it makes it easier to remember, that stands for Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. B-O-I-N-C.

Check your own reading comprehension, maybe by reading the copious information that's available.

Can't belive that so many still use dial-up, year 2005.
ET (wich we hope to hear from, right?) would laugh at the modem and say "don't they have a more efficent way to transfer data" :P
Well im just glad that i have a 10/10Mbit fibre connection....

This answer is at least arrogant.
Myself using gladly DSL since 5 months. Before i had to use a 56k analog modem since they were available. You can't get broadband / cable / DSL in every village in the flatlands. Think of it before you complain / demand.
