What could be the problem??? :o) For some people closing Boinc and then going to start, run, typing cmd and pressing enter. Then typing 'ipconfig /flushdns' and pressing enter.

	Just to give a better reason why this works is that SETI is moving servers between different ISPs. So the IP changes. If an IP changes, usually when something already started (upload, download, report, or whatever contact it needed) your machine might be holding the old IP. So it can not find the new server's address. What Mikey showed was how to clear / reset this hold. I wanted to give this explanation so that others that read this thread understand why people tell them to do these steps. Happy Crunching! ____________

For others this does not work at all. They seem to be still working on the servers. I am sorry to say, that it didn't seem to work for me. In the next day or so I'm going to run out of work on both Seti and on Einstein. Since my connectivity to every other website is working, I am assuming that I haven't messed up anything here. I am running one of the optimized seti clients but the einstein client is stock. I am presuming that they don't trip over each other on connectivity issues.

Tom Is Einstein also having connectivity problems? If so, are the connections to the reference site also having trouble? If the reference site is having trouble, there is some problem that is local to your host, or to your ISP. Note that BOINC does not use your browsers connection to connect, it creates its own connection which is fairly often blocked by persona firewalls. ____________ BOINC WIKI

Tom The good news is that once it occurred to me that "shutting down" Bonic inlcuding stopping the service that was running it, the flush the dns appears to have worked. I had problems getting the service started again which I finally re-booted to get everyone on the same wave length, but it does appear that the problem was non-current IP addresses. However, Einstein just came back with a non-communications error so whoever is managing the server will have to find out why it can't open some file or other... Oh, well, for mostly volunteer projects except for the core staff, these things are running remarkably well.

Actually both of your computers connected to Seti on the 13th and downloaded units. One of your computers is using 5.4.9 and the other is using version 5.4.11 of Boinc. Updating both computers to version 5.8.11 should help. ____________

Any thoughts or ideas. I'm on both SETI and Einstein, but having no problems with Einstein at the moment, just SETI. Thanks folks TheApostate ____________
