When I dial in and click 'update' it doesn't want to report the results. This has been going on for a day or two. Any ideas what to do about it? Thanks.

What does it say in the "message tab" when you try it, it should look like: 4/15/2006 3:01:53 PM\|SETI@home\|Sending scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi 4/15/2006 3:01:53 PM\|SETI@home\|Reason: Requested by user 4/15/2006 3:01:53 PM\|SETI@home\|Reporting 1 tasks 4/15/2006 3:01:58 PM\|SETI@home\|Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded except it should say "Rosetta" instead of "Seti". tony ID: 13846 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I suppose I should have tried that first before making a post. Founder of BOINC GROUP - Objectivists - Philosophically minded rational data crunchers. ID: 13849 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Some of the differences you are seeing could be the random number used when the Work Unit starts. I have been advised that this number is now provided from the server with the Work Unit, so they will all be different even if the Work Units start at the same time.

A SETI unit was well over 120 hours also and finished up in a few hours after I rebooted. Just thought you should know.
