Everything works except Seti.

BTW, this might be a perfect time to switch your client(s) to Orange Kid's proxy. He runs it in the event of Berkeley server outages. His proxy address is: orangekid.teamanandtech.com on port 5001. Just use that instead of the standard SETI servers.

What client are you running? Command Line or GUI?

 

[b1er]

Gui.

Tried orange kid's proxy also.

the error message is"(error -20;0)"

WTF?

 

[Dingas]

Run the command line, it is much faster

 

[Robor]

Sorry man, got sidetracked...

I haven't run the GUI in a long while so I dunno about that error message. I checked the Berkeley page HERE and according to that they're operating normally.

I looked around on their site for your error and didn't find anything related. Here's a LINK to their help FAQ for the Windows (GUI) client. Sorry to not be of more help tonight but it's late on the East Coast (3am) and I've gotta be at a buddies (rleach2) house tomorrow for a 4th of July BBQ at noon.

PM me or drop a reply here and one of us will get you up and running.

Real quick link to the Command Line client...

HERE

This is really the best way to go anyway. There's several other proggies that you can use to do stuff along with the CL client but that's after you're up and running.

Cya!

I just installed the CLI so it's fresh in my mind.
You can find links to all this here.http://www.orangekid.teamanandtech.com/
First get SETI Driver and then put the SETI CLI in the same folder.
Then run SETI Driver and set the proxy server Host WWW.orangekid.teamanandtech.com Port 5001 (use colon should be checked) and it will find SETI CLI and help you set it up.
Then install the shutdown thing that is on the SETI Driver web page.
Reboot.
Install SETI SPY and SETI Watch to the same folder.
check Create SETILog.csv in SETI DRIVER and it will make this for SETI Watch after it does a work unit.

SETI normally tries to connect on port 80, so maybe your ISP is somehow filtering port 80? If they turned on a proxy server in IE, try turning it off and then seeing if SETI will connect.

I don't know what it was but it works now.I haven't changed anything since I posted last night. Oh well.

Thanks guys.
