SETI@Home's DNS servers are down. These IP addresses provide basic connectivity:

208.68.240.118	setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu	# upload server Oct 2016
208.68.240.119	boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu		# download server Oct 2016
208.68.240.126	setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu	# scheduler Oct 2016

I'm guessing Einstein is having problems again??

So it would seem ...

Einstein is back online. The ISP had connectivity problems on the transatlantic connection. It seems to be solved now.

That finally happened: domain of ABC@Home is taken for good. Obviously, it has nothing to do with BOINC. Consider removing all links.

Anyone know what is happening at Einstein at Home?

Anyone know what is happening at Einstein at Home?

It's been up and down most of the morning...

Einstein@Home has again problems with the ISP (University Hanover). This started shortly after office hours in Germany and has to wait until tomorrow morning (9.5 hours from now)

Do you have any idea about the scheduler, rather than the message boards? I've been reporting tasks intermittently all evening (more "couldn't connect to server" than anything else).

But now I've just had

That's your temporary home page, I think. That machine is going to be dry overnight.

Yes, the scheduler is also affected. I added the scheduler URL to the temporary homepage so the client finds a scheduler URL and can try that although currently you can't reach the scheduler.

You'd be surprised!

Thanks for the quick response.

Einstein@Home is back online and so far everything seems to be working again. But we still have to find out what happened, short periods of downtime possible throughout the day.

SETI@Home

Front page news:

Mail problems and fire near SSL.
The UC Berkeley Space Science Laboratory Domain Name Services (DNS) server has been having problems for the past 24 hours, and a wildlands fire near the Space Sciences Lab has prevented SSL personnel from fixing the problem.

Because of this, any server functions (i.e. password reset, forum notifications) that require email interaction are not working for most people.

If the problems continue tomorrow its likely that BOINC clients will eventually lose access to the SETI@home servers until the DNS server can be repaired.

From what I'm seeing here, I think the DNS problems have already caused client access failures.

SETI has in large part recovered from the effects of the nearby fire, and should be functioning normally again.

WUProp@Home is back up with no obvious issues after its database connection problem.

Cosmology@home's domain registration expired on August 16, 2017, so it is down as of this writing.

ODLK has been completely off-line now for about 1 1/2 days now

Asteroids@home advance warning of outage from their news page.

There is going to be a big maintenance on 11.09.2017. It will take nearly 5 - 7 days. Servers won't be processing any work during maintanenace and most of the time might be offline.
