For past day or so I am not being able to upload any workunits to SETI@home. I have no problem uploading with other projects. Also this happens on several network with different DNS servers which I though was the problem.
Below is an excerpt from message from BOINC:

Fri May 14 20:40:03 2010 Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
Fri May 14 20:40:03 2010 SETI@home Temporarily failed upload of 22fe07ah.31421.6207.6.10.68_0_0: can't resolve hostname

Anyone else seen this problem and does anyone at SETI@home know what is the cause of this and to solve this issue?

There have been problems uploading tasks to SETI, but that works again; and the error messages didn't contain "can't resolve hostname".

That error was introduced for Macs with version 6.10.36, I think. I'm not sure if your 6.10.43 still suffers from that. Did you upgrade recently?
