I've been trying to sort out for three or four dayss why I can't connect to rosetta, seti or Einstein. I've reinstalled 5.10.45 several times but the debug info shows the update seems to be trying to contact google not the right website.... I've tried to post the debug log extract but that's crashing the edit

BOINC contacts the project first. If it can't contact the project, it contacts Google. If Google doesn't work either, it decides you have a network problem. If Google works but the project doesn't, it decides the problem is on the project.

Make sure you allowed BOINC through your firewall software on TCP port 80.

Done all that, even had issues with changed components in thepast requirein FW updates. It's still going on. Seti, Rosetta and Einstein are not communicating. COmmunity Grid and climate prediction are fine. It always comes back with this sort of stuff:

Are you behind a proxy?

Not behind a proxy... DSL connection to home network, no changes to that in the time frame that has stopped this working. To be frank, it's geting to the point where I can't be bothered. I've been contributing time for many years, and I'll just go and find other stuff to volunteer for.

Most probably the firewall in your DSL modem that's blocking certain ports or not allowing pings, or something like that.

I'd accept any of these suggestions if ALL the projects weren't working. The fact is it started with two not updating, Seti and ROsetta while WOrld Community grid was fine. I changed around a few projects, to see if they worked, and the only ones taht do work are CLimatechange.net and Community grid. Everything else I've tried (Einstein, LHC, Predictor, cosmology at home, along with Seti and Rosetta) are coming back with the error message -always the same error.

Did you download a fresh copy of the installer? Sometimes the installer gets mangled. A mangled installer should not install, I suppose, but ya never know. If you're reinstalling from the same mangled installer each time then you'll get the same problems.

I'l give it a go.. back later...

Uninstall... Delete... reboot... Download... Reinstall... add all theprojects... Still exactly the same. COmes up with"Project servers may be down" on Cosmologyathome, Predictor and LHC.... Community Grid and climateprediction are fine....

Could you try version 5.10.39 from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/?
I think it may give some relief.

Did you ever enable [http_debug]? At least you didn't post the log...

Here's the logs with Http_debug on....

Here's the http debug log

Short answer, it won't even upload a single cycle fof about 10 lines of log file witho9ut timing out....

Then that's the problem. Just as your Internet connection is working so bad your browser can't post a log to a forum, it also fails at "uploading" the scheduler request to the project server. Worth calling your ISP.

I think it may give some relief.

Or, create a cc_config.xml in your BOINC folder with the following contents:

<cc_config>
<options>
<http_1_0>1</http_1_0>
</options>
</cc_config>

You'll need to stop (quit completely) and start BOINC for the file to take effect.

Or I could be barking up the wrong tree here... :)

I wonder if it's the physical street cable, a bad joint somewhere?

If there was a physical problem my end, why would it not affect all projects? It's fine with climatepredict and World Community, it just has an issue with seti, rosetta, LHC, cosmology @home, einstein etc.

I will try and post lines of the log individually
