1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Scheduler request failed (Message 1163420)

Hi,

I'm running various BOINC projects on my home laptop with no problems, but I've also installed BOINC on my work laptop, and SETI@home is consistently unable to get started. I'm receiving the following error message in the 'messages' part of the BOINC software:

"http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ Scheduler request failed: HTTP gateway timeout"

I'm confused because the other nine projects I'm also attached to are not suffering from any issues.

To reiterate: SETI@home is the ONLY project I'm having issues with, and it's ONLY happening on my work laptop. Every other project is working fine, whether it's at home or at work.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Tom

Thanks to you both, but the updateed version just crashes when left to itself for more than about 5 minutes. I guess I'm just not meant to be running it.
I'll come back every few months maybe, see if there's a version that might work with my system.

O.k, thanks anyway. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Is there something obvious I'm missing, or is it supposed to be running me around in circles?!?

Having updated my old account, downloaded and installed the programme, when I run it, all I get is the following message, over and over again (after waiting the amount of time stated at the end):

I'm on a laptop running Windows 98SE, and I have Zone Alarm running. I've read god knows how many other posts, and haven't found anything that's helped. I'm not very techie when it comes to things like this, so cardboard chewable pages would be best with any explanation. I'm about to just give up and carry on running the old sah and then leave it alone when it's phased out.

Thanks in advance for any help.
