Since about February 13th have not been able to connect to either seti or rosetta sites for uploading or downloading units, or even looking at web pages from my college. Works fine from home systems. The 503 service unavailable error comes up with no details.

The ABC and Einstein projects connect fine.




College has IPs in the range of 203.215.52.0/22
Home machine is in my ISPs range that includes 202.128.80.x

I was even able to bounce thru my home squid server to upload units that had been downloaded before and completed, but was to slow to be usable to download units from all projects.

Any way to find out what is causing the problem? Our MIS department doesn't seem to see any problem? Both seti and rosetta are in the 128.x.x.x blocks, so wondering if some weird routing problem?

Can you do a tracert?

Try also these:

SETI@home Servers

208.68.240.13 download
208.68.240.16 upload
208.68.240.18 download
208.68.240.20 scheduler

I can traceroute to all those addresses from the college sites, but the address returned by setiathome.berkeley.edu (128.32.18.150) still does not work from the college?

Did some testing with wireshark and when going thru my home proxy I see traffic on ports in the range of 40249 thru 40258 during 3 test, while going directly give no traffic and then gets the 503 error.

The info I got from our MIS on the firewall setup for my systems seems restrictive.

Info from our MIS Department?

The following outbound ports are enabled specifically for IP addresses.

TCP
3128
4040
587
5900-5999
8080

UDP (linux traceroute)
33434-33534
 

Inbound ports allowed to the external IP’s are:

TCP
135
37
5900-5999
21
80
22

Still getting same error messages.
Traceroutes fail from the college using its newer 203.215.52.x addresses, but using the older ISP addresses work fine 202.128.72.x?

Traceroute using college IP stops at 128.32.0.37.
First 3 hops are internal college.
hop 4 is our router connected to ISP.

Traceroute from my home system using same ISP.
Takes same basic path and gets to 128.32.0.37, but then continues on and gets to the 128.32.18.150?

Wireshark doesn't show any errors, just no responses, so it appears it is dropping into a black hole?

This also happens with rosetta site, and just noticed it happens with tinyurl site. ABC and Eienstein have no problem?

This only shows that your college is implementing some block-filter based on IP ranges.
(or you use software like PeerBlock with unneeded IP ranges added to block list)

There is nothing SETI, Rosetta, tinyurl, ... (you will find more sites to add here) can do about it.


You have to investigate what is the difference (maybe router) between "its newer 203.215.52.x addresses" (blocks) and "the older ISP addresses 202.128.72.x" (work fine)

Yell at your college net admins that you are blocked to access sites that you need "for science"
