Hi,
About 12 hours ago my laptop stopped being able to upload completed tasks. I keep seeing the error: Scheduler request failed: Couldn't resolve host name it will then retry a minute later. I tried a computer restart but that did not resolve the problem. The other three computers are working fine on the network. Please advise, Thank you,  |

I was looking over others with connection problems. I then tried to update the internet time which did not work. Then noticed that the laptop was not connected to the network. Apparently a setting I changed in the router about broadcasting the SSID may have caused the laptop to disconnect and be unable to reconnect.
I found the "unnamed network" and reconnected. But now WCGrid says that BOINC is not connected to a project. I'll see what else I can do to fix this. |

FIXED
Don't know exactly what happened. WCGrid is finally working properly. Don't even know exactly what it was that fixed it. WCGrid kept saying it was not connected to a project. Then suddenly it had uploaded the completed tasks and downloaded new ones. Looks like it is working fine now. Wish I knew what happened but glad it is fixed. |
