I'm a member of SETI and a member of the SETI.USA team. Some of you might know me. I've been off the boards a lot in the past month and now, when I try to log in to the team board, my name and password are not being accepted and I can't get on the board. In addition, I'm having tons of trouble with the BOINC manager. I cannot connect to it. I always connect through a localhost and I've never really had a problem with it before. These things (not being able to log in to the team board) have happened to me on several different occasions and then someone checks it out and it seems to be working well after that.

I'd appreciate it if someone would e-mail me and/or respond to this post. Has anyone else had the same kinds of experience? Thanks!

The problems connecting between the BOINC Manager (GUI) and the BOINC Daemon (controller) is something that can be looked into on this board. Help with the login at the team board is going to have to be done by one of the team mates.

BOINC uses port 31416 to communicate between the Manager and controller. BOINC.exe needs to act as a server on port 31416 and BOINCMgr.exe needs to be able to call in on this port. If you have a personal firewall, it could be blocking BOINC's access through this port.

Shari, I had a similar problem and the only thing that helped was to reinstall Boinc. I didn't delete my existing installation, just reinstalled.

Hi. Thanks for responding and I did try reinstalling BOINC just after I finished my post. It was the only thing I hadn't tried and the reinstallation was successful. If this happens again I'll know what to try first, not last.
You must be another animal lover!

Thanks, also, for this specific information which I shall put under my pillow each night. I really don't want to lose it.

I guess my response is better late than never. Thanks so much for your feedback. I did what you said and now my BOINC projects are back up on the Manager. However, I still can't log into SETI.USA.

You know, I have only logged on to the SETI.USA site once or twice. It just never seemed important. For help with that, I would send a Feedback message on the www.setiusa.net site. Look for the Feedback link on the left side of the main page.

Good luck!
