1) Questions and Answers : Web site : Server status page lists the transitioner as down (Message 81266) Posted 7 Mar 2017 by andreba57 Post: Same here (Italy). The bakerlab.org domain doesn't get resolved (I had to hack the hosts file to write this), and the tasks don't get uploaded because BOINC Manager sees the servers as "temporarily down", which doesn't seem to be the case. This is happening on a number of PCs and tablets, all connected via Telecom Italia. The usual remedies (rebooting, flushing DNS, changing DNS servers and so) don't work. Hopefully it's just a glitch that will disappear in time...
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Is my ISP blocking BOINC? (Message 81264) Posted 6 Mar 2017 by andreba57 Post: Some more info: - Boinc is the latest available client. - the desktops are Win10 and Linux machines. They all exhibit this problem. - Same for the two Android based tablets. - The ISP is (TIM Telecom Italia). For what's worth they don't have a history of blocking data traffic. - Seti@home seems to be running fine.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Is my ISP blocking BOINC? (Message 81263) Posted 6 Mar 2017 by andreba57 Post: My desktop PCs and Android tablets had been working fine in the last few weeks, now however I find that they are no longer able to upload finished tasks. 06/03/2017 21:13:01 \| rosetta@home \| Started upload of UN-NetMotif-Round2_002_CC4_5L8HC4-6_DHR09_002_06.pdb_UN_C4Set1_17_02_16_12_41_globalDocking_7_SAVE_ALL_OUT_470940_32_0_0 06/03/2017 21:13:09 \| rosetta@home \| Temporarily failed upload of UN-NetMotif-Round2_002_CC4_5L8HC4-6_DHR09_002_06.pdb_UN_C4Set1_17_02_16_12_41_globalDocking_7_SAVE_ALL_OUT_470940_32_0_0: can't resolve hostname 06/03/2017 21:13:09 \| rosetta@home \| Backing off 03:54:45 on upload of UN-NetMotif-Round2_002_CC4_5L8HC4-6_DHR09_002_06.pdb_UN_C4Set1_17_02_16_12_41_globalDocking_7_SAVE_ALL_OUT_470940_32_0_0 06/03/2017 21:13:31 \| \| Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 06/03/2017 21:13:34 \| \| Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. Actually the http://boinc.bakerlab.org url is not accessible as well... I restarted the tasks, rebooted the PCs, and tried to change DNS servers with no luck. At least I edited the HOSTS file to manually resolve the IP address of boinc.bakerlab.org. This hack let me access the Rosetta@home project page and write this post, but the uploads in Boinc manager are still stuck. Is there anything else I can do to make Boinc manager see the servers?
