1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Dumb question... (Message 6086)

Hello fellow contibutors...

I hate to ask this--in a way, because I am sure it has been answered elsewhere--but I can't find a related post...

I have been crunching for SETI@Home with BOINC for quite some time now--basically since SETI Classic shut down, but the neither the account key provided for that project, nor my "cross project ID" would let me log in here. My current e-mail address, didn't work either, though all these are perfectly functional at the SETI@Home site, and the message boards there.

In order to try to be helpful, I just made a new account here for the purposes of posting.

Is there some way to merge my BOINC forum account with my SETI@Home account? Shouldn't they already have been at least SORT OF related?

If this is indeed a totally separate deal, how can I get my project info to show up in my profile here?

Thanks,

___Tklop

Hopefully, there aren't too many of you out there--but if so, and you're in the same boat I was in (until a few minutes ago), you've probably been unable to post anything here, log in or out of either this site, or the BOINC site, upload your results, or download new ones...

Mediacom told me they've been having connectivity issues with Yahoo, as well as certain secure websites... They didn't know why--and didn't know how to fix it when I'd called, but according to them, my connectivity issues here with SETI@Home & BOINC were probably related...

Here's what eventually worked for me:

Reset your cable modem, and reboot!

I did this daily since the 12th when my connection failures began--but as of a few minutes ago--it actually worked...

My modem is the Arris 402G Telephony modem--though many other models including some from Motorola are affected...

I wish I could have somehow gotten or posted help sooner--but as I said, I was effectively locked out until now...

Good luck, fellow users...
