Hello,

I have a finished WU but that can't go from my systems to Einsteins. I got this message:
27/01/2012 12:59:53 Einstein@Home update requested by user
27/01/2012 13:02:17 Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site

Is it a problem at my end, or have more people some "issues"? Thanks

Greetings from

problem with handing in finished WU

You left out the important bit. Did the attempt to contact the reference site succeed? That should have been in the next few lines of messages. If it did succeed, your end seems OK so the problem is with the link to the server. If it didn't succeed, the problem is most likely somewhere at your end.

Do you have other hosts and are they communicating OK? Your hosts are hidden so we can't look at any of this. My hosts don't seem to be having any problems. Sometimes you just have to leave it alone and it sorts itself out a bit later on. The server might just have been too busy or even temporarily down just at the moment your host tried to connect.

Cheers,
Gary.

I was seeing a lot of HTTP

I was seeing a lot of HTTP errors. Indeed I powered on another machine to check but that one is with ATI so only CPU work there, so it took some time.
There where and are problems with the pc at my end. BOINC is not working anymore and reinstall comes with problems with "can not find boinc.wmi". Looking at boinc forum for that, will take a while to repair. After a day lost with it, I guess a complete new installation of windows and such is best.
Thanks for the reply Gary.
