Does anyone know why my computer can’t trickle or upload results? My account shows that there have been no trickles in over 3 months running the experiment. I have tried everything that I can think of, but, can't figure out why? I am now in the third phase of my experiment, and have never been able to trickle. I am growing concerned that when I finish the third phase I will not be able to upload the results. I don’t want to spend 4 months on this for nothing!

By clicking on the BOINC icon in the task bar I found a page with the headings of “Project”, “Work”, “Transfers”, “Messages” and “Disk”. When I click “Messages” a whole screen of text come up showing my computer has been trying to upload files, unsuccessfully.

Some of the text on the screen reads:

“Can’t resolve hostname www.climateprediction .net (valid nam…”
Is this hostname right?

“Can’t read master page for climate prediction.net: error-113”
“Master file fetch failed”
The Computer then defers communication for varying periods of time.
What is error 113?

At other times my computer tries to upload a specific file. Screen reds:

“Can’t resolve hostname www.climateprediction .net (valid nam…”
“Can’t start upload for http://phkup21.unbe.ch/boinc/file_…”

It then “backs off” for a varying period of time before trying again.
What are these files? Are they attempts to trickle?

The computer has also tried (and failed) to upload something called 2hk9_200137248_0_1.zip

Does anyone out there understand this, because I sure don’t.

I know that I have been online at some of the times that the computer was trying to communicate. Sometimes I have even been connected to the climateprediction website.
Why can’t it get through?

Any help that you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely Yours,

Jim Conroy

113 codes normally indicate a partial connection. Usually this is a proxy or firewall problem. Some proxies limit the maximum file size.

There shouldn't be a space before the second dot. But if this was a problem I wouldn't expect you to be on phase 3.

Have a look at the FAQ left menu for more details about firewalls and proxies. If you think this should be OK, take a look at
