Hi guys, | |

I don't know what you're visiting, but I only come here. SETI@Home hosts only a single message board. | |

That would be way too much clutter on one forum. | |

The board has multiple forums. The best places to check during problems is either Technical News or Number Crunching. It seems that the servers are fine, but an oddity is preventing them from talking to Linux machines at the moment. If you're not using Linux, then another issue may be at play here and it would help to post some of the error messages from your Messages tab. | |

Gus has one computer on his account. It's a P4 3.2GHz (it says two cores, so I assume it's using Hyper-Threading) with Windows XP Home SP3. | |

Strange that I see "General prefs: from SETI@home (last modified 2008-10-22 " LOL! That's just a different date format. In this case, 4/11/2008 is November 4th 2008. ____________ Cruiser Gateway GT5692 L-f-S Edition -Phenom X4 9650 CPU -4GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM -500GB SATA HD -Vista x64 SP1 -BOINC 6.2.19 32-bit client -SSE3 optimized 32-bit apps  | |

4/11/2008 1:58:44 AM|SETI@home|Fetching scheduler list Those messages tell you that your BOINC can't do communications with the Seti server, but that it can do communications with the internet (through pinging the reference site at www.google.com). Usually BOINC does shorter deferrals on the retry, although I think BOINC 5.8.16 (which you are using) did the 1 day deferral. So you could try to update to a much newer BOINC and see if that fixes your problem. The latest recommended version available for Windows XP is 6.2.19. Do read the FAQ on what changes there are between the version you're using and the BOINC 6 version. There are plenty. As for the original problem, why you can't reach Seti, there's a couple of possibilities as well: a) The project server is down. Nothing you can do about it, except wait until it’s back up. If the project’s website is available for browsing, check the front-page news or message boards for information about outages. b) The project server is up, but your internet connection isn’t reaching it. This is called a “black hole serverâ€, where the line you’re following goes into a server node on the Internet and doesn't come out, usually because the node is down. Updating to a newer version of BOINC might help, especially if you’re still using v4.x or 5.4.x. Quitting and relaunching BOINC may refresh its routing information; failing that, try rebooting the computer. c) The client is being blocked by a firewall or proxy, one that does allow pings through on port 80, but not much else by way of communication. Make sure BOINC has permission to go through the firewall and, if you’re behind a proxy, that BOINC is set up to use the correct proxy address. ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception. | |

Strange that I see "General prefs: from SETI@home (last modified 2008-10-22 " Oh, didn't realize it showed a different order than month day year on the Manager. Must be the 5.8.16 which I don't think I ever used.. ____________ | |

Hi Ageless, | |

I am still concerned about pinging Google, and not SETI. No need to be concerned about that. BOINC pings Google to check if your internet connection is adequately set up, to see if you are able to get onto the internet. It takes Google because that site is always up, whereas the Seti site can be down. Then there are some 90+ other projects that can be run under BOINC. What if all the computers running BOINC on those projects started pinging Seti? That would be a denial of service attack on the servers here, rendering the project inoperable. Seti can do that all by themselves already, they don't need other computers for that. ;-) ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception. | |
