Description (last modified by Ageless)

I have download client on work to use it on corporate PC which have access to the internet using proxy.

I have installed client and try to download tasks but i have received following messages in manager:

05/10/2007 14:38:58|SETI@home|[file_xfer] Started download of file setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe
05/10/2007 14:39:02|SETI@home|[file_xfer] Temporarily failed download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe: can't resolve hostname
05/10/2007 14:39:02|SETI@home|Backing off 54 min 19 sec on download of file setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe

I have try all combinations but no luck. With proxy and without, with pass for proxy and without.

Can any one tell me where is the problem?

First, do know that Trac is for bugs only, not for asking help. The Project forums are for asking for specific help, in your case Seti@Home.

Second, Are you allowed to use BOINC at work? If not ask permission to use BOINC, ask your IT department what proxy settings you should use.

If you have permission and the proxy settings are still not working, please state which BOINC version you are using and what form of proxy is used by the company.

Changed component.
Seeing that we still have one open ticket on proxies, see ticket #343 and use that ticket to add comments if necessary. Closing this one.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
