Hi Guys,

I keep getting this message -
-----
2007-10-04 08:02:25 [---] Can't resolve hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] host not found
2007-10-04 08:02:25 [SETI@home] Couldn't start upload of 07mr07am.6556.890.15.6.80_1_0

interleaved with this one & the usual backing off messages.

URL http://setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/file_upload_handler: can't resolve hostname
-----

This is a new install on a new box, the error has occoured only when it has tried to upload work units, it seemed to dowload them fine, however it hasn't downloaded any since this error has been occouring.

HP-UX 11.2 on Itanium.

I can ping that hostname, it could download the WU, so om not sure what the issue is.

Any hints on where i should start looking at the config?

Cheers Steve.

:( I killed the process and re-started it as another user and was able to contact the server, this means its probably a unix config issue on my behalf.

Anyone know why the user i created for boinc wouldn't be able to get out? there's no proxy required or anything.

Cheers Steve.
