BOINC 6.x may handle thin’s differently. I’ll get around t’ updatin’ eventually …

It might be a waste o’ time t’ call up th’ DNS on every connection, but ’twould seem only prudent when retryin’ after failin’ t’ connect. (I had no problem reachin’ th’ website wit’ me browser th’ day after th’ upload first stalled.)

Once I realized the IP address had changed I edited DNS to propoagate the change. It can take up to an hour for those changes to propagate. But then it is available to your computer. Is it not connecting to the project?

No. ’twas gettin’ 24-hour deferrals on each failed connection attempt, today

If your client won't connect to the project, you could try stopping it (the client core, not just the manager) and restarting, to see if that clears it, instead of having to reboot the machine (which seems extereme).

Aye, that's all it took. Relaunchin’ BOINC (I ’ave th’ client installed as an application, nah a service, on this machine, so quittin’ Manager stops th’ CC processes as well):

I suppose I could ’ave done that instead o’ abortin’ th’ tasks, ’n they’d ’ave been uploaded. Oh, well: I doubt they’ll be sorely missed!

P.S. Didn’t th’ format invoked by th’ code tag use t’ scroll horizontally? Had t’ unstretch th’ thread here …

I’ve aborted th’ tasks, but I still can nah seem t’ get them reported:

But accordin’ t’ th’ status page, th’ servers are up. Be thar no way t’ get BOINC t’ use a new IP without rebootin’ th’ system?

Go ahead and abort them.

Aye, aye.

There was not work for Mac in this round, though some machines got told otherwise. The older app version is in the database, but the executable was not in the download area. If you had it already, fine, but if not, it would fail to download.

They had definitely run, I guess from an app I’d previously looted. 'n a few tasks were uploaded (& reported) earlier in th’ run.
