Jas, Are you using the URL (https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta), then selecting "use existing account" and entering your email address and newly created password, and still getting "failed to attach"???

If so, Then please copy and paste first 30 lines of your "messages tab" (from inside the boinc manager). Here's a sample from mine. I need the lines similar to my first ones, then the next 30.

thanks

Tony

jas, can you login and go to your "General preferences" (click View or Edit), and click "Edit preferences", configure it how you like, and then click "Update preferences"?

Hi all, since the upgrade of the servers, I had a strange problem. I have 1 computer that has no permanant connection, I just hook it up when it needs work. My problem is that since the upgrade of the servers this computer only downloads enough work for around 24 hours instead of the 72 hours it is supposed to. I have seperate preferences for this PC ( I use the school preferences) and according to the messages tab it is still using the school preferences, but it only downloads 24 hours of work. I have the "Connect to network" option set to 3 days in the school preferences, which used to work fine for me. It is a hassle to have to connect up every day as this PC belongs to my step son who is Autistic and plays war games on the PC as often as possible. I am only able to connect the PC when he is not around.

Is there any fix for this?

Will work for bandwidth!!

Did you change your "target CPU time" recently? What estimate do you have for each WU within BOINC? It might underestimate the completion time so that you in fact have WU for three days.

Thanks for reply tralala. In answer to your question I haven't changed the target CPU time for quite a while. But, as I checked my preferences I noticed that I only have the target CPU time set for 2 hours on my "home" computers whereas my default setting is for 4 hours. This is most likely the cause of the problem. I will continue to monitor the suspect PC and see if changing the default target CPU time has the desired effect.

Thanks for the help :-)

These are my current preferences, what do you suggest that I change?

Are you still seeing this in the messages tab?:

Can you detach from seti at home? and click on the R@h project and click update.

It seems to me that the source of the problem is in the blue line below. For some reason the server is either not getting the correct request from your system, or it is not recognizing it. Having said that, based on what you have already tried, I will have to think for a while to make a guess as to what to try next.

6/15/2006 8:42:42 PM|https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/|Message from server: Incomplete request received.

Let me take a wild shot in the dark. In the directory where I run Boinc, I have the files sched_request_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml and sched_reply_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml. Is the request file what is sent to the server and what it gets back is stuck in the reply file? If so, is it possible the request file is either corrupt or the permissions are wrong (I'm a *nix guy and know those permissions. Windows permissions still mystify me.) or something else is wrong with this file?

My suggestion, unless it's already been done, is to uninstall boinc. This will not remove every file so go to where boinc is installed and delete everything else manually. In Windows that would probably be C:Program FilesBoinc. Blow away the Boinc folder. Then reinstall Boinc.

Like I said, this is just a wild guess. I could be totally wrong. (Won't be the first time. Just ask my wife!)

i have rosetta running while i play team fortress, it works fine.
