	I used to do SETI@home a while ago. I am back now and just installed BOINC on my PC, Windows XP, SP3. It will not connect to server. Posted below are the error messages: 7/1/2010 10:00:56 PM Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. 7/1/2010 10:01:02 PM Suspending computation - CPU usage is too high 7/1/2010 10:01:12 PM Resuming computation 7/1/2010 10:01:55 PM SETI@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 7/1/2010 10:01:55 PM SETI@home Requesting new tasks 7/1/2010 10:01:58 PM Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 7/1/2010 10:01:58 PM SETI@home Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server 7/1/2010 10:01:59 PM Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. ____________ "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible".

	Oh. Maybe I should read a bit before posting. Seems that the servers are still on 3 day maintenance? If so, that would explain why I cannot connect. ____________ "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible".

	Yep, one other thing you will most likely want to do is go into This part of the preference, click edit and set "Suspend work if CPU usage is above" to zero. That way it will not stop crunching when you open your email. ____________

	Great. Thanks. I did just that. I am glad to be back though :) ____________ "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible". Hebrews 11.3

	Classic has been turned off since 2005. Its hardware has been integrated by Seti BOINC, there is no longer any work for that Seti, you can't use it for anything useful. ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception.
