1) Message boards : BOINC client : Boinc can not connect to localhost (Message 5100)

I have never had this problem and it just resently has happened. I even reinstalled the program. I have checked localhost by pinging, and it's pingable. I tried contacting my FTP on the machine under localhost, as well as an HTTP test server on the same machine, both contacted localhost with no problems, so why should Boinc not able to connect?

I do not have a personal firewall on my PC, instead I use an external firewall in my router, so it's doubtful the port could even be blocked. however, what port does it use to connect to localhost? Is there a service in windows2000 Pro it uses, that another software may have disable? if so what services does it use?

well, since others are getting the same thing like me, where I can not upload finished units, I supect a server problem. I remember some time back when I was still a SETI classic user, all of us were getting the "mysterious fatal error thing" and we all had to do a work around by hiding our results in a new folder so, it could download new work. When the server was working again we just moved them back one by one restarting SETI so, it would up load them.

For the time being I am still working on one, and still have another unit still left to go, so I guess I won't panic this time <grin>

If I remember what happened that time, I believe someone hack into the server and messed things up; and worse yet, it was at a start of a weekend... why do intelligent people do such stupid things?
