I disconnected from internet, then reconnected. I was then able to upload the WU using Retry. All other internet connections were also back to normal. This is using ADSL broadband connection. It seems strange that my internet connection should go haywire when it tries to contact Rosetta@Home! Everything seemed to be working fine till yesterday. Any ideas gratefully received!

Rosetta's trying to connect but can't. It did not 'take down' your internet connection. Are you using a wireless router?

It did not 'take down' your internet connection. Are you using a wireless router? Just using a USB ADSL WAN adapter (Sagem F@st 800). I should have another Rosetta WU finishing in about 20 mins. I'll report on what happens, Alan WU has uploaded with no problems. Must have been a glitch with my internet connection! ID: 1794 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
