I was running Boinc's older versions on my previous work computers. Today I decided to load and run on this one, but I get messages as "communication is deferred" and "error 417". I am running Vista 32 bit SP2. Below are the error messages. I am attached to rosetta, seti and einstein.

See http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php?language=1&view=505.
Next time, please only post a part of the log, showing the error, not all of it.

Had replaced the cc_config.xml before opening a thread, however did again and flushed the dns also. Still the same messages. Would daytime network traffic effects this?

Do you get a confirmation message in the log after placing the cc_config.xml (and restarting)?

It belongs in the BOINC data directory, in your case:
C:\ProgramData\BOINC

Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz)

What should confirmation message read? Nothing in the log seems like a confirmation message to me.

Normally they start with "Config:" like

Config: don't use coprocessors
Config: use all coprocessors
Config: don't use GPUs while mplayer.exe is running

for <no_gpus>, <use_all_gpus> and <exclusive_gpu_app> respectively, but I don't know if <http_1_0> gives a message too, since though I'm using that parameter, I am still running BOINC 5.10.45, where there's no such output.

You could try to add one ore more logging flags to your cc_config.xml, since they are listed on the second line in the log:

22/12/2009 13:25:57 log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task

Your cc_config.xml would then look something like

<cc_config>
    <log_flags>
        <http_debug>1</http_debug>
        <http_xfer_debug>1</http_xfer_debug>
        <unparsed_xml>1</unparsed_xml>
    </log_flags>
    <options>
        <http_1_0>1</http_1_0>
    </options>
</cc_config>

Gundolf

No confirmation messages in my logs. I will try an earlier version and contact my ISP also if they are somehow blocking Boinc.

Did you insert the http debug flags? If so, you should see the effect in the messages at up/download times and after a restart in the "log flags:" line(s).

If you don't see it, you haven't placed the file in the correct directory (C:\ProgramData\BOINC) or the suffix is not XML.

Gundolf
