Sorry Dotsch, I thought I'd emailed you already.
I detached / rebooted /attached (using your supplied url) and still get the same thing.

It does attach, it downloads the png files but the executables and WU transfers still error.

---

Any news ? - Did the problem still happens ?

In the debug output from Temujin was some connection attempts to a wrong IP shown. Tremujin, could you please try to detach and attach again with the right project URL (setiathome.berkeley.edu) and look if this happens again.

---

Could please someone enable the debuging and mail me (seti_boinc at dotsch.de) the compressed output.

Hi Dotsch
Yes, I'll enable new work for seti and run through your suggestion this evening.

---

In a other thread a other user reported this problem, too.

Could please someone enable the debuging and mail me (seti_boinc at dotsch.de) the compressed output.


To enable the debbuging :

- stop the boinc client

- create a file called "cc_config.xml" with following contents :
<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<file_xfer>1</file_xfer>
<http_debug>1</http_debug>
<http_xfer_debug>1</http_xfer_debug>


</log_flags>
</cc_config>

- start the boinc client "./boinc > out 2>&1"

- make some download / upload tries

To disable the debugging stop the BOINC client, remove the file and restart it again.

Hi,

my Seti is working again.
I dont`t know what happened, but after some hours he was able to download correctly and is now doing calculations again.

In a other thread a other user reported this problem, too.

No changes on the Network Proxy.
And I don`t use a Proxy.
I have restarted the client several times.
Reboot is out of question, as this is my Mail,Web,FTP,DB,... Server

I've had the same problem with 1 linux machine on my home network since Feb 5th.
I restarted boinc, restarted network and eventually restarted the machine.
Nothing worked.
I eventually gave up on seti and moved that machine to Einstein.

Yes, I restarted it several times.
Always the same messages.
I also restarted nscd, same.
I just Downloaded the Windows Version, which was working fine.
So these looks like a problem here with Linux
At the moment I started it without the GUI RPC.
Now I don`t get any file_xfer messages at all, even with GUI RPC enabled.
I`m lost

What excatly have you changed in your network config ?

Have you restarted the BOINC client or rebooted ? - A reboot could also be fine.

GUI RPC is only the communication between the BOINC client and the BOINC manager and boinc_cmd.

I have searched around the forums, and did not found any problem reports for server problems in the moment. Also, I had no problems to download and upload my WUs the last days.

Btw. do you use a proxy server with/without authentication ?

Hi folks,
I heard that there is some working going on on the network settings for seti, but my client isn`t working since several days now, so I dont`t know if this is related to the network changes.
I get this file_xfer thing several times.
Is this a real problem, or only a cause of the work on the network config ?
Thanks in advance, Christian

I am a Windows guy not a Linux guy but there are plenty of workunits available. Your problems could be in the DNS cache. In Windows we open a command window and type "ipconfig /flushdns". This flushes the caching of the DNS cache. Version 5.8.11, which I notice you are using, is supposed to do this all by itself. Basically you have a problem but the problem is not lack of units. I do have one Linux machine, something I am trying, which is why I am here in the Linux group in the first place, is getting units just fine. Have you tried just stopping Boinc and then restarting it?
