These settings work fine now. HOWEVER: all my other projects cannot connect then :-(((

Try several times to [Update] - sometimes a proxy can refuse to connect just for a moment.
I tried now - and it works:

11/10/2011 11:23:37 Using proxy info from GUI
11/10/2011 11:23:37 Using HTTP proxy 216.24.193.211:8080
11/10/2011 11:23:47 SETI@home update requested by user
11/10/2011 11:23:51 SETI@home Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
11/10/2011 11:23:51 SETI@home Not reporting or requesting tasks
11/10/2011 11:23:54 SETI@home Scheduler request completed


Also look if this graph shows NO traffic for everybody:
http://fragment1.berkeley.edu/newcricket/grapher.cgi?target=%2Frouter-interfaces%2Finr-250%2Fgigabitethernet2_3;view=Octets;ranges=d

If green is Low (near zero) - NO one can Download
If blue is Low (near zero) - NO one can Upload or make Scheduler request

Using a proxy is just ticking the box - settings are retained.
If I see other projects are having trouble getting through I untick proxy use, do a couple of manual updates and UL/DL retries and reenable proxy use after the non-SETI stuff has gone through. That works for mainly SETI setups - if your setup is mainly for other projects, enableing proxy now and again and manual UL/report/DL of SETI may work better overall.

Thanks all, walked away for a few hours and came back and everything was humming along fine. That graph is a good one to put on your bookmarks permanently to check on before squawking about not being able to send or receive. Thanks again!! Ior

No luck here. Proxy or no, uploads and downloads are not happening.

Thats the one I've been using since yesterday. LOL

This latest proxy worked for me this morning, but now does not, nor the previous two.

IT prevents proxy sniffing described earlier.

Any new proxy's to try?

The proxy I quoted in my previous message still works fine. I use it on my desktop machine, and have no problems as of now.

Guess my IT department keeps on blocking them, thinking I am trying to bypass their security. Don't know what else I can do until I can access SAH directly...

Try Hotspot Shield:

(if you can install software on that computer)

Well I am able to get tasks directly from Seti today. I hope everyone else is too. It has been a long time since I have been able to get anything consistently.

Me too.

Who knows? Therefore:

It has been a long time since I have been able to get anything consistently.

I personally would (based on former experience) wait at least a few days before I tend to use the expression consistently ;-)

Jeff Cobb:

"Eric and I went to the PAIX today and quadrupled the memory in our router.

The router stats indicate that there is now plenty of memory to spare.
But we are still seeing evidence of packet loss from various points around the globe. ..."

In a few days/weeks we'll know will this RAM upgrade fix the "HE connection problems" permanently.

This thread goes to the history and becomes from now-on only some kind of "Proxy talk" ;)


But before we "draw the curtains" - here is some more info ...
(How to check "The owner of the IP address, the country/state name" en masse)


Yesterday, while browsing through the excellent and very small (<100 KB) programs by Nir Sofer:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/

I came across IPNetInfo:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/ipnetinfo.html

"System Requirements
Windows operating system: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista.

Description
IPNetInfo is a small utility that allows you to easily find all available information about an IP address:
The owner of the IP address, the country/state name,
IP addresses range, contact information (address, phone, fax, and email), and more."

You can simply copy "raw" text containing IP addresses and paste it into IPNetInfo utility.
IPNetInfo automatically extracts all IP addresses from that "raw" text, and displays the information about these IP addresses.


The screenshot is 1600 x 1144 Pixels (67 KB) so I give link instead if [img][/img]:

This is small part/sample of the "raw" text I pasted into IPNetInfo:
