OK, my apologies. The issue seemed to be confusion in the /etc/hosts file which had an incorrect designation of teh machine name vs its static IP number.

Everything seems to be working well now, with Seti@home & einstein@home.

Cheers,

Greetings,

I also seem to be having a similar problem. On a new Ubuntu 8.0.4 machine,
I installed BOINC 6.2.15 today and Seti@home. When trying to run it, I'm
getting messages like
03:50:08 PM: Error: Cannot get the official hostname (error 110: Connection timed out)
every 30 seconds or so.

I've tried Advanced->Select Computer... to set localhost, but that does not
seem to help. The messages continue. The lower right of the GUI says
Connected to localhost (6.2.15)

In addition, the application's response is exceeding slow (on a new very fast
dual core box with 4 Gbytes RAM), and it greys out for about 20 seconds every
30 seconds or so.

I haven't seen this behavior on earlier versions running on Fedora 1 Linux or WindowsXP.

Please also replay to my email acct: howard@cohensw.com

Thanks,
howard
