server's down?
id try it again later

 

[dxkj]

No, it's Smokes seti Queue or my seti Queue that are both up that its trying to connect to.


Im guessing the the firewall we are behind here on campus is causing some issues. Anyone have any ideas to get around this or to make it work, short of talking with the admin.

The first time you create (or log into) an account it must do a pass through any Queue that it is using, in your case smokeball's. The first thing I would try is to make it not use a queue and see if you can log in. I checked the seti web page and it says that the all is well with the servers. I dont know what to say other than try again later.

That error normally occurs when the client can't connect to the SetiQueue or Berkeley servers. When connecting to SetiQueue, as others have said, you need to have sent at least 1 completed WU through the SetiQueue, so it knows your UserID and has some work units for you. It could also be that the IP/subnet mask on your SetiQueue is set incorrect, causing it to not be allowed to connect. Try setting your IP address and Subnet mask to 0.0.0.0, and see if that fixes the problem, as well as downloading your first WU directly from Berkeley


Confused

 

[dxkj]

ip and subnet are all 0's

I cant connect to berkley either

What port are you using?

 

[dxkj]

I've setup my SQ server on 32, 21, 80, etc etc, I cant find one that will work. I cant access smokes on 5517 or 5587, or berkley at all.

 

[Assimilator1]

Have you tried port 80?

Btw I was refering to the port that SETI uses

 

[dxkj]

yeah Ive tried port 80, seti has to connect to a seti queue , and since im running the queue on my computer back home ive changed the port a few times to different numbers including 80
