1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't resolve host name (Message 1217) Posted 24 Jun 2004 by Hughes Glantzberg Post: I finally found the solution to my problem. Although I didn't see Zone Alarm running, it was still installed on the system and evidently enough of it was still loading to interfere with my connection. I uninstalled Zone Alarm and SETI@home/BOINC is now running fine. Thanks for all the help from everyone. Hughes Glantzberg

2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't resolve host name (Message 1163) Posted 24 Jun 2004 by Hughes Glantzberg Post: As I said when I started this thread, I have five computers running BOINC. Four of them connect just fine. There is only one that cannot connect. All five computers connect through the same ISP. Two are connecting via DSL and two are connecting via dialup. The one that does not connect is on a wireless connection to DSL. Today I'm going to try hooking it up to dialup and see if it connects that way. Hughes Glantzberg The PC Help Desk

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't resolve host name (Message 1140) Posted 24 Jun 2004 by Hughes Glantzberg Post: I used to have Zone Alarm on this system, but don't have it any longer. I removed it some time ago - before I tried to get BOINC working. I actually thought about this last night and double checked to make sure I didn't have anything else running. I doubt if my ISP is blocking the site since my browser can access the site without any problem. I even tried to ping my own website and couldn't ping that either so I'm sure it has nothing to do with BOINC. The question is what is blocking access. Hughes Glantzberg The PC Help Desk

I've done it about fifteen times and have always gotten the same results. If I were typing it wrong, I would assume at least once I would get it right. I have also typed the address into my browser and have gotten to the website without any problem. I'll give the ping a try and see what happens. Thanks. Hughes Glantzberg The PC Help Desk

6) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't resolve host name (Message 877) Posted 23 Jun 2004 by Hughes Glantzberg Post: I'm running SETI@home/BOINC on five computers. Four of these computers are running fine. One gives me an error message, "Can't resolve host name setiathome.berkeley.edu" when I attempt to attach to the host. I have tried to shut down BOINC and restart it with the same result. I have tried to uninstall BOINC (erasing the entire directory after uninstalling) and then reinstalling it. I still get the same result. The computer is running Windows ME and has plenty of memory and speed. Hughes Glantzberg The PC Help Desk
