I'm having the same problem here... Also for the past 2,5 weeks.
I'm running the client on 6 pc's (different locations and different

All Windows-machines, some WinXP Pro, some Win2000 Pro.

on and off for the past 3 weeks or so, my client trys to send
results and fails, then then following message comes up

Sending result - connecting to server.
recv fd=64 n=-1, errno=2
Can't connect to server; will try again in an hour.

Seti@Home has been running on this box for about a year and a half.
1.6gb P4, Windows XP Pro, Norton Internet Security and Antivirus and
no problems on this end before now.

I downloaded and replaced the client. No change.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

I similarly had this difficulty and found that disabling NIS solved the
problem.

Good suggestion. Upload/download works for mee with and without NIS.
I did get a private e-mail saying that "Connections (with seti@home)
have been strained for several weeks." Perhaps that's the simple
answer. I hadn't seen any posting on Berkeley's website so I posted
the question here.
