1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC 5.8 released to public (Message 8028) Posted 6 Feb 2007 by MacDitch Post: Just to be complete... what OS and what version of IE are you using? It's been reported for Win 2K and I replicated it on XP Pro. Ah, I'm using IE6.0 on WinXP Pro, so sounds like it is covered. Cheers, MacDitch
2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC 5.8 released to public (Message 8025) Posted 6 Feb 2007 by MacDitch Post: Am I the only person who gets two browsers opening when they use the link buttons on the 'advanced' view? If I have no browser open and press any of the links, it opens two copies of iexplorer - one with the page requested and one blank.
3) Message boards : BOINC client : Can't upload results (Message 8020) Posted 6 Feb 2007 by MacDitch Post: 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.

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... Image attached for project list!
5) Message boards : BOINC client : Can't upload results (Message 7985) Posted 5 Feb 2007 by MacDitch Post: 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. Thansk, MacDitch
6) Message boards : BOINC client : Can't upload results (Message 7983) Posted 5 Feb 2007 by MacDitch Post: 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.
7) Message boards : BOINC client : Can't upload results (Message 7979) Posted 5 Feb 2007 by MacDitch Post: 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?
8) Message boards : BOINC Manager : My wish list (Message 7532) Posted 16 Jan 2007 by MacDitch Post: Hi all: When will the new version of boinc manager be released ) it was announced on 11/07/06)? I would like to be able to sort all columns as in a regular folder (ex: click on the heading and it sorts up or down). Thank you: Mark Reiss [/img]http://www.boincstats.com/signature/team_2403_banner.gif[/img] Why aren't my stats showing - what am I doing wrong? See below: [/img]http://www.boincstats.com/signature/team_2403_banner.gif[/img] only use a / in the closing img tag. In your signature you need to remove the spaces in the brackets and close the tag (using [/ img] without a space) on each line
9) Message boards : BOINC Manager : My wish list (Message 6806) Posted 5 Dec 2006 by MacDitch Post: Answer from John McLeod 7: SNIP! Thanks for the help, I'll see if I can juggle the three allowed 'locations' in order to set this up without causing more errors on other machines. Otherwise, I'll just continue in my current manner. :) MacDitch PS. Can I also add to the vote for a sort function?
10) Message boards : BOINC Manager : My wish list (Message 6797) Posted 5 Dec 2006 by MacDitch Post: Please note that I don't have a problem with the current software, but this topic is 'my wish list' and a 'Force EDF' function is something I think could be of use. :-) What version of BOINC are you using? Version 5.4.9. Didn't have an issue with the virus software so didn't upgrade to 5.4.11, waiting for 5.6/5.7... What do you have your connect every X set to? Erm, 0.6 Days for most machines. 5 Days for an offline one. I think. Which projects are you attached to? 17 in total, see graphic for list.
11) Message boards : BOINC Manager : My wish list (Message 6795) Posted 5 Dec 2006 by MacDitch Post: My wish list... Forced EDF Button! Would it be possible to implement such a function? I frequently don't have internet access at the weekends, but my computers are still actively crunching. Partially due to the fact that I am running multiple projects, I find myself having to manually suspend longer deadline w/u in order to get the ones that need to be reported before Monday morning completed by Friday afternoon. Obviously I can continue as I am, but it would be so much easier if I could just turn the EDF on for a day (or whatever) when this happens. Cheers, MacDitch
