I had no problem browsing to the URL using a broswer. Why couldn't my boinc command-line client (5.1.13a) connect?

Is there an alternative project URL?

Can you please try to detach from the project and reattach to the project.
You can also try to download the newest boinc client. In the moment 5.2.13 is the recommened version. This version also fix a lot of bugs .

You have used the right one.

Did you mean `boinc_cmd --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu detach`?

I tried, but on --project_attach, boinc still reported "no response from schedular".

Already running the latest linux command-line client. My linux server is in Hong Kong.

can you traceroute to the site from that computer?

it says you already attached so you do not need to keep using the --attach_project switch

traceroute is not a reliable tool to check connection. I could estasblish connection with `telnet setiathome.berkeley.edu 80`, but "get /" didn't response.

telneting to port 443 didn't work.

Don't you have to append your key to the end of the URL?

Do you have some firewall running on your system or between your affected system and between the internet ? - If yes, can you please deactivate it, and try again.

Are the name resoulution OK ? - You can check it with "nslookup setiathome.berkeley.edu".

Boinc needs port 80 outgoing to the seti servers. But I am not shure if it needs https, too.

Port 1043 is for the communication from the boinc manager with the boinc client.
Port 80 is established to the seti servers, are the way back (high ports) ok ?

I just send an attach request tonight. The scheduler responded this time. Maybe it's the database merging that's droppping foerign requests.

No... the scheduler is refusing connection again when my boinc_client submited its first result...
