Unless you can obtain permission to run SETI@home on your office computer, you're probably out of luck. |

Help!!! > I believe I have solved my problem, although my first test after the fix was with Folding@home and I am now crunching a Folding unit on the problem machine. It seems that even though ZoneAlarm was turned off, it was still blocking the previously unauthorized programs of SETI@home BOINC and Folding@home. After restarting ZoneAlarm and then running F@H, ZA asked if the program could access the internet, I allowed it and bingo, it worked. I'll try S@H after this folding unit completes. Perhaps your problem is similar and, if not directly related to ZoneAlarm, may be related to another firewall program, like the one included with Windows XP. |

I have heard of problems with > routers and proxies as well. Thank you very much for the reply. 1. I have been very careful to avoid including blank spaces during the copy-and-paste procedure and have made sure any errant spaces were deleted, if they appeared. 2. I am not using ZoneAlarm, nor does my anti-virus software have its firewall enabled. (I even tried connecting with the AV turned off, just to make sure it was not the culprit.) 3. I am using a different router than the one that was in use while participating in the BOINC Beta test. The previous one failed and had to be repalced. However, I have moved five of my SETI@home/BOINC Beta machines over to Folding@home and they are not having any difficulty swapping out work units through the new router. I have just checked the logs and settings on the router and see that no sites or services are set to be blocked, so I don't think the router is the problem. 4. It may very well be that the occasions I have tried to connect are times when the server is either unavailable or there are too many other machines trying to connect. When I get a chance I'll try another machine in my farm and also one other machine I have access to that is at an entirely different location, to see if I have better success. This is a bit fustrating and perplexing. |

What to do with Seti@home classic?
(Message 750)
Posted 23 Jun 2004 by ![]() Post: If SETI@home classic is not running, there is no need to uninstall it unless you want to free up the space on your hard drive. As stated avove, don't run both at the same time. You may want to keep the classic until its operation is completely dead, it's up to you. |
