What kind of connection do you have?

Is the MTU setting correct?

Have you tried turning "black hole detection" on in windows?

BOINC WIKI

Hi..
My speed is
DownStream Connection Speed 16266 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 1330 kbps
and my MTU is 1500

i have tryed two routers now but still the same thing, strange mate.. im out of ideas???

Help :)

Do you have some torrent client running (e.g. uTorrent)?
They tend to overload routers with too many simultaneous connections.

Since you have this message:
14/03/2011 22:48:00 SETI@home Reporting 185 completed tasks, not requesting new tasks

this means you have had successful connection to SETI@home in the past
(you successfully downloaded at least 185 SETI@home tasks, computed them (or maybe aborted?), successfully uploaded them and now try to report them (which will be useless since they are too old - timed-out)
)

Do you need to use proxy?
If so - check in BOINC Manager -> Advanced menu -> Options

Hi mate..

uTorrent is off.
and right at this point is when i get cut off from the web -- SETI@home Reporting 185 completed tasks ??

its not my account, couse i have log on with my laptop at work and thats fine, so it must be my home computer? must be.. i just cant find why.
i have checked firewall on pc and router, check port forwarding, updated the firmware on the router, its so strange..

Thanks for replying..

---

ok i got it to work,lol not sure how..
maybe it was the server?

anyway, thanks for your help people

:)

Happened again but i just reset boinc, seems to work now?

Sounds like it may be the MTU setting.

When I asked what kind of connection, I did not mean speed, I meant things like Point to Point Protocol Over Ethernet, Point to Point Protocol, or Heartbeat, etc. 1500 is too large for some of these and it would only fail if you are trying to send files over the MTU size. To tell if it is the MTU size that is causing trouble, you can open a DOS prompt and type the following line:

ping google.com -l 1472 -f

If this complains, then you will need to find the largest ping size where it works and add 28 to that for the MTU setting. Adding 28 is because the IP headers are 28 bytes long and they are counted in the MTU size, but not in the Ping size. For example, you try:

ping google.com -l 1472 -f
and it fails.

ping google.com -l 1400 -f
and it succeeds. (OK, but probably non-optimal)

ping google.com -l 1450 -f
succeeds, but again possibly non-optimal

...

ping google.com -l 1452 -f
succeeds

and

ping google.com -l 1453 -f
fails.

This would make the optimal MTU setting be 1480

OK, the first one tells me that MTU is not the problem as 1500 should work.

The other possibilities all lead to the router somehow. I know that my routers don't do this (none of the three that I have used).
