Nothing since. A best I can tell the Rosetta servers are up and dishing out work, so I figure I must have something set up incorrectly (although I have been running SETI on the same BOINC installation for over a week). Any ideas or information would be appreciated. ID: 5442 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I found I once had to tell BOINC to connect even tho' it appeared connected. Once it tried to reconnect, it scheduled a download and has worked fine since.

Your firewall must allow boincmgr.exe and boinc.exe. If you will open BOINC Manager, click on the Projects tab, click on the line for the Project, and click on the pushbutton Update, it should connect to the project. You can verify what happened by clicking on the Messages tab. If you still have a problem, post the name of your firewall. ID: 5487 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Rosetta is sharing BOINC with SETI, which is having its own problems right now, but I'm pretty sure they're not related. ID: 5584 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Rosetta is sharing BOINC with SETI, which is having its own problems right now, but I'm pretty sure they're not related. The line I bolded means that Rosetta doesn't need any work at the moment. THis is BOINCs way of trying to honor your resource share (over the long term). It could also mean that Rosetta has built up a long term debt and cpu time is owed to other projects. All is normal and well. Kathryn Kathryn :o) The BOINC FAQ Service The Unofficial BOINC Wiki The Trac System More BOINC information than you can shake a stick of RAM at.

Just "suspend" SETI for a couple of days until they get their issues worked out... Also, the "Cafe" is more a free-for-all place to chat and gossip than it is a help area. You'll get faster response to any problems over in Number Crunching. Normally. Although 5 min in cafe may be a new record. And love the screenname.. make mine a Tradicionale. :-) ID: 5678 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
