Hi,
when running the test project cplan with uppercase as the application, installation went ok. I am using boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu on SL450 as the client.

I am constantly getting the following message in the client msg tab...

...upperCASE requires 1.96 kbps download bandwidth. Your computer has been measured at 0.00 kbps.

Using netcap, there is no issue with bandwidth. Firewalls are off on C & S, I have also installed the client locally on the server, same message is received.

Has anyone come across this issue before? all help appreciated,

Peter

I'm not sure if CPlan is still up&running. I've asked the developers about that.

Hi Jord, do you mean to say it is defunct, i.e. the version downloaded will not work due to changes in the software, etc?

No, I'm not sure if the site is still completely up&running, with everything in place.

We usually test on BOINC Alpha, but you need to be registered for that (account creation isn't open). You can ask for an account through that site.

I'll wait for an answer, but don't expect one for the next 4 hours.

Hi again J, I didn't make myself clear. I am running a server too, with cplan and uppercase as the project. The C and S are on two VM in a testbed. Connectivity and bandwidth should not be an issue. Everything else seems in place and looks normal.

I've tried a few things like over writing the 0.0 values in the server d'base, but these get reset to zero (i.e. net_stats is working but ???)

I'll wait for an answer, but don't expect one for the next 4 hours.

no worries, I'm here all day, thanks for your help,

Ah OK, sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you attached to the external CPlan server.

Perhaps it is quicker to (also) ask this on the BOINC Development email list. The list needs registration. You can always point to this thread (and show the world my misunderstanding of the situation. ;-))

Although it's possible you miss some driver in the VM.

Update from originator...
This problem was caused by a new client who had never downloaded anything having the host.n_bqup and host.n_bwdown database values set to 0.0. These get updated to actual values after some data transfers take place.

A new line in the check_bandwith method of schec_send.C has been added now in rev 15440 and it the original problem outlined in this thread...

// if n_bwdown is zero, the host has never downloaded anything,
// so skip this check
//
if (reply.host.n_bwdown == 0) return 0;

Peter
