Message 3709 - Posted: 30 Mar 2006, 10:41:06 UTC

Hi,
I tried attaching to predictor@home, but it looks like I can't connect to any server within the scripps.edu domain. I tried using visualroute from any public servers on the net (Italy, where I live, The US and others) but looks like San Diego Supercomputer Center is blcoking all traffic to www.scripps.edu, regardless where it comes from.
This is happening since months, so I'm wonderingf who's taking part in Predictor@home and how they could do it (and how could I possibly...)
.

Bye

I just tried www.scripps.edu and got through. The PAH website URL(for attachment) is http://predictor.scripps.edu, and I also can get through with that address.

I don't know what to say. except to try the URL I'm providing.

Tried again, both with boinc manager, Firfox, ping and tracert, but the connection times out.

Could be that scrpps is somehow restrcited to US resident IPs due to federal regulations (I live in Italy)?

I've just looked at the main page and message boards, and see no other reports of this. I don't know how to help you. Perhaps your backbone provider stopped peering with whomever predictor uses?? I don't know.

I'm not currently attached to Predictor, but in the past I had no problems and I'm in South Korea.

Well, could anyoneplease provide me with an e-mail address of predictor's hos administrator, if it can be found on predictor's web page, or with the adiministrator of scripps web page so that i may contact her/him and ask?

Thanks

Can you copy here the results of "TRACERT predictor.scripps.edu" command ? (or "traceroute predictor.scripps.edu" under Linux)

Does predictor.scripps.edu have an IP of 137.131.252.96 ?

Because I suspect the problem is due to "DNS poisoning", as I've noticed the same issue in the past.

Hi dhatz,

looks like the IP is right; the tracert reports are below. Please notice that the IP (wahoo.sdsc.edu) it can't go past is the same even tracert-ing from a VisualRoute server and from other online tracert servers.

Thanks for assisting.

darkpella, your traceroute results look fine to me. They're the same as mine and my BOINC connects to Predictor without problems.

Many sites block ICMP (ping/traceroute) traffic nowadays, so you can't ping or traceroute them, but the site itself is reachable via HTTP/HTTPS (web, used also by BOINC etc).

Do you still have problems attaching to the Predictor@home project?

Hi dhatz,

did the following
1. Clicked on the Project->Attach to project menu on Boinc manager menu bar
2. Clicked Next on the dialog that opened
3. Entered http://predictor.scripps.edu as project URL and pressed Next on the dialog that opened
4. Waited while it tried connecting
5. Got a "Project temporary unavailable" message.
6. Opened Firefox
7. Entered http://www.scripps.edu as URL
8. Got "Connection timed out" error
9. Entered http://predictor.scripps.edu as URL
10. Got "Connection timed out" error.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

I've created a thread called "Connecting from Italy" and posted this:


I have a user at the Boinc message board. His username is "darkpella" and here is a link to that thread. He can't attach to PPAH, or even get here with a browser. Can someone help him?

tony


over at ppah, There is a link to this thread.

{edit} this was the first post to their boards in 3 days, so I wouldn't expect an immediate response. LOL
