I have a problem with

I have a problem with versions 4.14, .15 and .16: I cannot update any projects - that is, the schedulars don't respond (S@H, CPDN, E@H, Predictor). WU'S download, run, and upload just fine.
I have tried this on 2 different computers, same result.
When I restore to 4.13 the problem disappears.

Running Win2000 SP4 on both boxes. Suggestions appreciated....

I just tried an update and it succeeded fine. Running 4.16, but on XPSP2. Have a Win2K machine at the office I can try this on tomorrow. Anyone else?

Updated 4.14 to 4.16 on one

Updated 4.14 to 4.16 on one machine, everything went smooth and is running fine, but Predictor has yet to request another WU. I also just updated my prefs (both general and E@H) and that works fine as well.

I had the same problem. BOINC 4.16 restarted the project, dumped the WU's, then downloaded E@H 4.72. Running fine otherwise.

Got a similiar error when installing the 4.15 boinc on a new machine. It was a proxy problem. I'm behind an HTTP proxy and the internal DNS is not resolving for external domains (only the proxy itself can do that, but a ping or nslookup won't work).

For some reason the proxy settings where gone. I used an older client_state.xml, which I drop into the boinc folder after installing a new fresh client. (I saved and edited it, removed everything except for the proxy configs, and stored in my install folder on the LAN). After entering teh proxy settings again, it worked again.

So are you using a proxy, it might be this. I don't know why the proxy settings where not read correctly from the old client_state.xml the [proxy] segment in the new one looked the same, after reentering the proxy data (proxy.domain.nl at port 80, username and password for the proxy entered too). It used to work for older clients that way.

Getting an unusual situation

Getting an unusual situation with 4.16... Or maybe it's just an update bug:

I've just updated, and the total time to completion for all my units (whether they're untouched or 93% done (CP) give the TOTAL time to completion, so my CP unit says I've been working on it for 839 hours and that it's 867 hours to completion.

Will all these numbers fix once they resume or is this just another oddity of 4.16??

After it resumes, it should show the correct time remaining again.

I have updated to 4.16 with

I have updated to 4.16 with no visible signs of problems. I do run ProteinPredictor as well as all the others so it will be interesting to see when I need more work if this happens or I get the error.
