Hi Robi thanx for taking time to read,

I will try to explain what I have tried upto now:-


Have checked all id`s and keys and all are correct ( hundreds of times just to
make sure that they are not getting corrupt before, during and after working
the unit)

Have tried the old client 3.03 which has worked fine and after logging in with
existing account it grabs a unit does its stuff then when it tries to return
it just sits there with no errors, this is from just cli or using ksetispy or
ksetiwatch, there is obviously communication with Seti as it will d/load a
new unit for ksetispies cache.

To eliminate the fact that it might be a Ksetispy or ksetiwatch prob I have
run using just the cli but still the same results.

So I tried with a newly d/loaded 3.08 client into a new dir with a different
name ( so not conflict ) and repeated the above and the result is the same as
with the 3.03 therefore eliminating the bad .sah`s as thay are new from
Seti@home when I d/loaded the first unit.

I then copied the seti dir from another machine ( on the same lan so should
rule out firewall probs ) which is fine and has been returning results fine
all the way through this little prob, which shows that the files are all
correct.

Ran the existing part done unit on this machine and quess what no dice still
the same prob WTF!!! this is a self contained directory from a known working
good source but as soon as it is on this machine it dumps with no errors.

So I copy the dir back to good machine and voila! it sends the completed unit
and d/loads another unit.

So it is my conclusion it must be some global screwup on this machine that has
happened since the crash a Seti@home, it might just be coincidence or related
but I sure as h*ll cannot figure it out.

What I cannot understand is I now have 5 different dirs with 5 different
configs all seperate with newly d/loaded clients and new units, all my .sah
files have the right id`s and keys, but still no joy.

It might be just me and I am missing the most blindingly obvious cure.

I am now going to reboot my server and restart the firewall, I can`t see it
doing anything as the server and firewall has not been restarted for over 3
months and that was for dustbunny hunting   also the good machine goes
through the server and firewall as well , but as I have tried most other
things maybe a bit of lateral thinking may help :)
