Copper, I'd suggest going to "general preferences" under "your account" and changing the last preference:

Skip image file verification?
Check this ONLY if your Internet provider modifies image files (UMTS does this, for example).
Skipping verification reduces the security of BOINC. no

To YES. Then go to the "projects" tab on the manager, highlight "setiathome XXXXXXXX" and then click the "update" radio box to the left. It should update your prefs (see message log).

Does this help?

tony

tony I tried what you suggested but it did not work. thanks for help. bob

Hi Cooper,

This other computer you have, is it connected to the internet the same way as the computer that is presenting the problem? What kind of firewall/connection you're using?

Regards,
Wander


The working laptop is directly connected to a linksys router. The pc is connected bt wireless network. I am using the same Computer Associates Internet Security Suite on both computers. The computers are configured identical. They have the same software running on both. Thanks for your help Wander.

Bob


No problem Bob. Just trying to help ;)

I know it's a longshot, but is there any possibility to switch the connections around? Just to make sure that either the router or the wireless access point are not the culprit. I'm assuming both connections are provided by the same ISP, right?

I know some ISPs use a compress scheme to transfer some data over their network, to try to speed things up, but they generally do it with graphics files. The WUs are simple text files with the radio signals encoded in to them. Are you using any of connection accelerator that might be interfering in the DL process? Or maybe some setting in the wireless access point.

Regards,
Wander


NO Problem Wander, The computers are to far apart to hard line the pc. I am gonna check the firewall settings and make sure that BOINC is not restricted in someway. The only change I made to both computer was upgrading the CA security suite software. Works fine on laptop both not on my pc. There are no connection accelerators on my side. I use verizon dsl to connect.

Thanks again, bob

OK, I can see them now.

First stab guess is check and see if there are any transfers left on the transfer tab. If there are, then give a retry a shot and see if you can pick them up now.

If there aren't any showing, then you may as well do a project reset and see if that clears the pipes, since there isn't anyway to recover the old ones at this point.

I did the reset but it still is not working. Here are the error messages I keep getting.

Sorry, I went and double checked what the pref does, and unfortunately I don't it will help here. But I guess it can't hurt to give it a try.

Your hosts are hidden, so you'll have to cut and paste more info from your message tab or give us a link to the Host and/or results in question to give us more clues.

Alinator


I unhide my host via pref. I hope that helps. I tried to cut and paste from BOINC, but it would not let me. I even downloaded the newest vers. 5.8.16 , maybe that might fix it as well. I dont understand why my laptop, which is setup the exact same way(same software) is not having the same problem. Would it help to completely uninstall BOINC and do a new install??? Thanks again.

Bob

That's not much info to go on, but the obvious answe is you aren't getting the whole file during DL, or something has started corrupting it for some reason.

You could try disabling error checking in your prefs as a test to see if that fixes it.

<edit> Scratch that, I guess that pref only applies to the graphics files.

HTH,

Alinator


Sorry I can't give you more information, but BOINC only gives me that response. I am currently trying your suggestion. I have to wait til the server will let me download another work unit. Thanks for a quick response.

9) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC wont connect with any of my projects (Message 160161)
Posted 30 Aug 2005 by Profile COPPER
Post:
Which Windows version do you run? Have you tried to reboot the machine?
When you install one of the new Boinc versions, do you uninstall the previous version?

In Task Manager, do both boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe show up, or only boincmgr.exe?
If the latter only, navigate to your Boinc directory and start boinc.exe

If all of this is not helping, would you want to try the next step, by uninstalling Boinc, deleting the whole Boinc directory (you can make a backup first if you want to), then reinstalling Boinc as fresh (and preferably on another partition/hard disk) to see if that works out?

If you do the above, you will need to re-attach to all the projects you were attached to. Which reminds me... you are attached to projects, yes? Have you tried to re-attach to any project you are currently attached to, just to see if that was the problem?


Thanks for all your suggestions. What I finally did was figured out that Trillian Messenger program was the problem. It was shortly after installing it that I had the problem. I fixed it by using Windows System Restore and going back to a date prior to the problem. I then made sure that Trillian was uninstalled. It works like it use to. FYI, I did everything you suggested already and none of them worked. Using System Restore was the final solution that worked. Thanks for all your time and suggestions. Bob

Okay, everything is just a white screen, you mean?

Check something for me. Exit Boinc (If you have it installed as a service, stop the service).
Open Task Manager by rightclicking on the Windows task bar.
Is there any science application still running? If there is, rightclick on that, choose End Process from the drop down menu.

Now start Boinc again. It should work, although the unit that was stuck may go out with an error.


When I start BOINC the window opens, the tabs are there but everything else is white. I installed it as single user, since I am only one on the pc. I did as you suggested and checked the task manager. There are no science applications running. I was wondering why is it that version 4.19 runs fine, but the two newer ones are acting up?So there are no units stuck, now what?? help....thanks for being patient with my problem....Bob

What message do you get and for which projects?

If you get the No schedulers replied message for the Seti project, please read the front page news, the server status and the technical news for all that has happened in the past couple of weeks. It'll also explain why the schedulers are down.

Also check up on this thread, as well as any other thread in the Number Crunching forum.

If you don't mind doing some other work at this moment, there's a whole host of other projects out there that you can attach to. Use Boincstats as a guideline. It links to those projects that are Up & Running. Although only Einstein, LHC, SZTAKI, CPDN and Predictor have work at this momen
You can also find great help in the Boinc Wiki.

(Sorry for the standard answer... ;))

If you have problems with other projects as well, please leave the error message you get in your Messages tab.

I am currently running SETI, Climate Prediction, Einstein, Protein Preditor, and LHC. None of them will attach or connect at all using vers 4,45 and 4.72. There are no messages under the message tab at all!!

There are no error messages to post. When I try to open and run Vers 4.45. or 4.72 it gives me a windows message saying it can not connect to local host. I run 4 other projects besides Seti on this pc. None of them will connect using the last two versions. When I installed vers 4.19 all five projects began running again as before and with no problem. Like I said I can run vers 4.19 but 4.45 and 4.72 wont connect to the local host or attach to any projects. I tried to attached to all 5 of my projects. Nothing happened when I did. So help please if you can. Thanks Bob

I was running BOINC 4.72 as of yesterday. When it fail to connect to local message came up. I tried repairing it and reinstalling it, but with no luck. I have a laptop that in still running 4.72 with no problems and it is an older pc. I tried to install ver 4.45, but got the same message. I am now back to running ver 4.19. I miss the new features. The problem computer is a P4 3.4 w/HT 4 gigs ddr Win XP SP2. The laptop is a P3 1.0 ghz 512 mg ram Win XP SP2. So why is the older and slower one running it and not the newer one. I have not changed any setting on my computer or installed any new programs. Any (real) suggestions would be nice. I have browsed for answer, hence I come to you good people. Thanks for any help you can provide....Bob

I think you have to wait the first data exchange with the server to get your stats (or stop/start boinc). It doesn't show stats the first time.




Just wanted to say thanks for the fast respose. You were right on the money. The software just needed time to go thru the processes for a little. Thanks again.

Just upgraded to ver 4.45. It picked up where the previous version(4.19) left off. When you look under the projects tab you can see all the credit to date. Now when I go to the "B" Statistics tab it is blank. There is no user data there when I click on the radio buttons "Show USer Total" " Show User Average" and so forth. Is this a bug???
