Take a Break (Nov 26 2009)

Only if you POST your number on the board so we can call you every day randomly at 4:00am your time and tell you everything is running fine..........

How do you execute that?

How do you execute that?

under Vista you have to run the command line thing as administrator to execute the ipconfig /flushdns command (the cmd.exe, not sure how its name is in English windows, the German name of that tool is roughly translated "input request" but I bet thats not the correct name. Its found under all programs>accesories). Now everythings fine.

Have any of you tried Sutaru's way?

it solved my issue straight away.

his post is about 15-16 below this one...

Hey :)

First time posting on here, i have flushed the DNS afew times now and its only a temp fix to the download issue, anyone got any other suggestions ?

For windows based computers....this worked for me.
shut down boinc
open the run... box and start a command window (cmd)
type exit
cmd prompt will now be in your recent tasks list
right click on this item (cmd prompt) and run as administrator
command window will come up
typo in "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes
hit enter
type exit hit enter
restart boinc

this worked for me

I took a similar tact. I created a CMD shortcut which I could run as administrator. The ipconfig/flushdns command worked like a charm

New problem this morning. Two P4 machines a 3.0 HT and a 3.8 HT both w/4GB RAM. Windows Seti versions 6.6.38 & 6.10.17 running tasks in the 08 and 16 name series under "Time To Completion" show 100 to + 200 hours. Normal times for these machines are in the 4 to 8 hour range. All other computers with a variety of CPUs and cores seem normal. These are not Astropulse tasks. What gives? I aborted several but new downloads in these series still show excessive run times.

Most all the WUs I have are in those ranges and they are showing normal "to completion" times. 08no06 and 16no06 series. I'm also running 6.10.17 on a Celeron dual core. Have you run one to see how long they actually run?

The times are falling off sharply. One that said it would run 113 hours has run
2:40 and only says it needs another 34 hours and that its 24% done. I'll have to wait and see. I have 2 other hyper threading P4s and they give normal times. The only thing different with the 2 in question is that they are also running Cuda applications................

Thanks,

Lee Gresham

Are the servers still encountering issues? I Have not successfully downloaded or uploaded any data in several days. Thanks.

Hi, sorry but I forgot to include my messages log in the other post. I flushed my DNS cache and it did not help. Thanks.

Stopped Boinc, ran "ipconfig /flushdns" on my Windows 7 Professional computer then restarted Boinc. Files were downloaded and processing started.

Thanks for the "hint" ;-)
