JamieCampbell,
Let us know if the upload goes through now. It looks like the server already had part of the file uploaded and when it attempted to load it again it was rejecting them attempt. I deleted the partial file and believe that will solve the problem. I haven't seen this before so I'm curious to know if this is the cause. thanks, Kevin |

Kevin,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I don't think it worked - the error message I get now is: 26/01/2006 15:48:23||Attempting to communicate with [secure.worldcommunitygrid.org] timed out 26/01/2006 15:48:25|World Community Grid|Scheduler request to https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg_cgi/fcgi failed with a return value of -182 26/01/2006 15:48:25|World Community Grid|No schedulers responded |

I've also just had the following error - if it helps:

Given what Kevin found based on his post, do you have more than one result to upload? If so, you may want to try selecting only the second result and tell BOINC Manager to retry just it. If that goes thru, the whole problem may be specific to the first result and BOINC may be trying to always upload it first each time.

I think we may be getting close to resolving this - it turns out (on a completely separate application problem) that my work PC is un-pingable! I can ping out to other machines but no-one can successfully ping my PC.
I didn't realise that it was possible to make a PC unpingable - does anyone know how to make it pingable again? |

Do you have 5 workunits on that machine all waiting to be uploaded?
----------------------------------------This problem is very odd since you are able to communicate with the server and retrieve new work. It is just the upload that you are having troubles with. The last time that I see information in the logs from your device was on Jan 18th - can you force them to try to upload the results again? thanks, Kevin [Edit 1 times, last edit by knreed at Feb 3, 2006 3:19:24 AM] |

Probably your firewall is dropping pings. Look in the advanced firewall options for something like: ICMP: allow incoming echo requests. |

Most of my work units have time expired - I've only got one ready to upload and it's still failing!
Every now and then I've been forcing the units to upload and they've all failed. :-( |

Probably your firewall is dropping pings. Look in the advanced firewall options for something like: ICMP: allow incoming echo requests. I don't think its a firewall issue. I can't ping my PC from inside the firewalled LAN. If I disable my VPN security policy I can ping my machine (which solves the problem with the other, non-BOINC application) but I still can't upload .... aaargh! |

Jamie,
uplinger identified an interesting issue with another user (the upload URL for one of the files was corrupted). Can you send your client_state.xml file to the support@worldcommunitygrid.org inbox and mark it attention of uplinger or knreed? thanks, knreed |
