Post: Tony, I finally got BOINC working. It's running through a public proxy. Why it doesn't work with a direct connection is a puzzelment. I tried 4 websites and around 10-12 public proxies before finding one that's alive and that works. Hopefully whatever's causing the problems with the direct connects will be found and fixed at some time. In the mean time, if the proxy keeps workking, so will I. Thanks for your help. Lenny |

Post: Hi Guys, Hi Thanks for the advice. I tried the "don't fragment" ping with 1472 bytes to seti and it succeeded. So I guess there is no black hole router in my route. The microsoft KB article was very interesting. I'm unfortunately still out of luck and stuck at 4707 work units for the forseeable future. Was definitely worth a try though... Tnx, Lenny |

Post: Second piece So the bottom line is that I'm S.O.L for now. The news part of the seti site yields some hope though. They evidently have been overwhelmed with data conversion and traffic lately. Maybe the whole problem is servers that can't hack it (yet) and which won't degrade gracefully in the face of an overload. Pehaps plain patience will solve my problem. If not, it'll have to be so-long seti after 6 years and 4707 results. Thanks for all the work you did in trying to get me going. Sometimes you get the bear sometimes the bear gets you.... Regards, Lenny |

Post: Tony, I'm sending this reply in pieces to try and get it through. The server istiming out.... I downloaded DrTCP but didn't use it. DrTCP doesn't report the current IP settings and in WinXP those settings are difficult / impossible to find. I won't make changes to TCP settings unless I can put them back the way they were. And in this case I don't know what to put them back to. I sent a couple of emails to Ian, who you asked to look in on this thread. I'd be pleased to send the text of his reply to you if you're interested. My summary of what Ian said in the email is that the BOINC server complex has some problems which can't be diagnosed while the servers are in production. But these problems are what's probably causing my grief. His one suggestion, was for me to temporarily bypass my home hardware firewall and see what happens. I'll try tomorrow. But even if it works that situation can not be allowed to persist for more than a few hours (the firewall is also the switch/hub for my home network... when it's out I have no network). He also asked em to try and communicate with BOINC using a proxy. WHich I did with no success. Regards, Lenny Wintfeld |

Post: When I attempt to look at your puters I see this, it is blank. This confirms you're failing to attach to the project. What is the Exact message you get when it fails to attach(the message in the attachment wizard, NOT messages tab. Tried that many time too.... with and without the trailing "/" no difference. Tried it again just before this reply. |

Post: OK, this is getting stranger by the minute. Open a command prompt box and enter: Tracert to setiathome.berkeley.edu: 26 hops. 1st hop times out but then it continues and gets there. Tracert (set to 30 hops max) to setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu: times out after the 1st hop but then it continues until the 24th hop. Hops 25 - 30 all time out. 24th the hop is g6-1.inr-230-333333spr.berkeley.edu (128.32.255.110).Did it twice same results each time. |

Post: Yes, 4707 results is correct. The seti client stopped processing & updating (using the old 3.3 client and SetiSpy) about 3 weeks ago and its been at 4707 ever since. That's why I decided to try BOINC. I was looking forward to going past 5000 this year. The things you told me to do I've done numerous times with the same result as described in the "other" query I sent and which you replied to. e.g. I get "failed" when attemting to add the seti project. The other thing that happens is the project shows up in the projects tab for a short time and then disappears when an error message is returned from BOINC? SETI? The imprtant messages evidently are: "CGI error 500" and "no schedulers responded" and "Couldn't connect to URL http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/" I tried appending the full message text from BOINC, but the reply would not upload. If you'd be interested in seeing the next set of Messages logs, please send me your email address to lennyw at comcast dot net. I wonder if "Failed" it has something to do with the fact that I changed my logon and password today using the "form" that Seti provides for that purpose? Maybe one of their servers has it and another doesn't? Anyway, I sure hope you have a few more ideas!! |

Problem getting BOINC to work wikth old Seti account
(Message 227780)
Posted 8 Jan 2006 by lennyw
Post: Hi My old Seti 3.3 software that I've been using (along with SetiSpy) since 1999 stopped processing and sending results around 3 weeks ago. I just discovered that Seti is now using BOINC. It took a bit of poking around to figure out how to log on to my Seti account at setihome since my account name is at long gone domain and I forgot the password years ago. But the Seti account is succesfully converted to my most recent email address. I also was succesful in getting the BOINC "account key" emailed to me and in downloading and installing the BOINC software. But when I use the BOINC attach project dialog it goes from "Communicating with Project Please Wait" to "Failed to attach to project" It's good to see that seti has gone from an old difficult to use client to a nice new difficult to use client. Very consistent. I will send the content of the BOINC "Messages" tab in a separate query, since I tried to send this request once already and it doesn't upload (maybe there's an undocumented size limit on these query boxes). Thanks in advance for your help. Lenny Wintfeld |
