I have the following BOINC error messages:

. Can't resolve hostname setiathome.berkeley.edu (valid name, no data record of requested type)
. Couldn't read master page for SETI@home:error -113
. Master file fetch failed

Are those errors associated with what the project staff are trying to fix? If not, can anyone hazard a guess as to what maybe causing these errors.


All guesses are likely good at the moment (:-))

There's a page/FAQ somewhere with all the error numbers. Someone have the link?

A simple test for you to do is to copy the URL to your browser and see if you get anything.

"(valid name, no data record  of requested type)" suggests a DNS lookup error. Are you on Windows with your firewalling too restrictive?


Good luck,
Martin
