Thanx Martin but unfortunately this does not cover the problem, I have
completely installed 4 different new versions of seti, the 3.03 and 3.08

However if I move the cache dir over to good machine it transmits the unit so
there can be nothing wrong with the .sah files

I will take drastic action and restart the firewalll on the server to see if
that does anything but I cannot find anything in the logs.

Use ping and trace to check that you have the expected network connectivity.

Note that logrotate can sometimes cause problems when it shuts down some system stuff while the logs are being rotated. Try restarting the network services and then restart your firewall.

Also double check your file permissions.

Otherwise, try posting a few more details for more guesses.
(Not got infinite patience to do an infinity of brute force guessing (;-))

And there may be something subtly wrong with the .sah files. Note that certain files and contents exist only at certain phases of operation...


Let us know what you find.

Good luck,
Martin
