Hello there, dear brothers at arms.

Most probably this question of mine will already have been posted and answered before, so I'll apologize in advance for posting it anyway. But as I have not been able to figure it out by myself nor find an apropriate solution to it yet, and yes, I read the FAQs, I'd like to address you folks. Ready? Here it goes.

I have been running Rosetta for roundabout three months right now, and have accumulated a solid 10k of credits. Not much but decent. Anyway, almost always my good old P4 (3.06 GHz) completes a package and is ready reporting the results I get the following error message:

"Couldn't connect to hostname [boinc.bakerlab.org]
Scheduler request to [...] failed with a return value of -106
No schedulers responded"

All I managed as a stupid workaround so far, is to hit the refresh button twice till the reports went through and the connection established successfully. Obviously this won't work when I am off and so my BOINC manager get's stucked respectively.

As I have to do the same every once I want to access the internet, I presume I got my connection configured the wrong way, and that the router is not set up properly.

So if there's any of you cracks out there listening, I'd appreciate your help a lot. *g*

Thank you, and good 'crunchin' to all of you.

(Apropos: I am using a flat/ADSL-internet connection and it's working fine once it's online. It just has to be a router setting, hasn't it?)

Yes. And I am thankful for that. And thanks to you too, for this advice. I am still green with all this thread-posting, boards and so on. So thanks again.

Besides, if anyone has an idea regarding my connection issues you are obviously welcome to follow the link... ciao.
