On Thursday when i left work everything was fine, now I'm back no monday morning and find that the machine hasn't uploaded a result since Friday! It has succesfully downloaded some extra work in that time but every upload (and there are quite a few now) comes up with '05/02/2007 06:52:19|Rectilinear Crossing Numbers|Temporarily failed upload of tuedrei102_0189_0924_1569.18: Error 403'.

Can anyone advise what is going wrong?

Please report download/upload/report problems on the RCN Number Crunching forum.

The quoted RCN message was just an example. This is the same across all 15 projects I am running, hence the reason for mentioning it here. As it happens, I have also been in communication with one of the admins on Simap and he has looked at the server side for me. It now looks like this may be an issue on my network/proxy/firewall - some techy changed something over teh weekend.

Ah, OK. You didn't state it was for all your projects, hence the pointer to that project's forums. ;-)

If it's something your network techs changed, you'd have to go it through them. And if it needs NTLM authentication, the new BOINC 5.8.8 has a better understanding of that than 5.4.11 does (as in, the new one works).

I'll have a word with them when they start (usually about lunchtime. :) ) but may try 5.8.8 if that is now an official version. Am still running 5.4.9 at the moment.

Do ask if your (work) policy changed, or if you are still able to run BOINC without breaking the BOINC Policy on this.

BOINC 5.8.8 is now the recommended version.

Ok, haven't managed to track down a techie yet, but just noticed that it is only WCG that can get new data, and that it can return data aswell! Does anyone know what is different in the way WCG handles tehse requests from the rest of the projects? I would like to be able to give the techs a clue of what to look for...

I think WCG uses HTTPS and I don't know of any other project that does, but that's strange, it would make more sense if WCG was the only one not working because of that :-\\

Not necessarily. HTTPS uses port 443. HTTP uses port 80. So if port 80 is blocked, all projects on HTTP have a problem. Hence the question what proxy port is used now.

The proxy uses port 80. In fact, it is the same IP and Port as when I started back in early 2006. The only thing that has changed (to my knowledge) is that they have changed the script address (http://....) of the proxy.
