The program knows about that. In my case: I unpacked the program in a directory and started it. Got the same echo that you got, but it did connect. No setup is required on your part.

gethostbyname: Resource temporarily unavailable Server host unknown That server is not reachable once in a while. Rare, but it happens. Maybe you just tried to connect when that was the case. Try is again during non-peak times.
If you need help or have questions, ... please feel free to post some more... ;-)

Hi, You should try KSetiwatch. A KDE app that automates Seti@home. On SuSE 6.1 it is included on the SuSE CDs. Probably on 8.0 but I don't know for sure PeterB -- -- Proud to be a SuSE Linux User since 5.2 --

PeterB Peter, I am using ksetiwatch now and have completed three to four units yet only the first one completed shows up in the completed work units, so i am not sure if the completed units are being sent in. Is there someway to check this. TIA David

I'm no expert, but I've just completed 2,312 workunits(In your face, Dale!), and I'd recommend that you use tkseti to keep track of completed units. Tkseti is nicer if you're dealing with a single box. IIRC, Ksetiwatch shows it's strength coordinating a group of systems.

Hi Jay, Ksetiwatch is cool; no problems whatsoever here. I'm at 1717 units at just a few days more than 9 months. Forgive me but I must ask you what the words in your sig are all about?

Congrats on your progress. You should join team Consolidated Lint. Do you know if the next certificate is at 5,000 units or something different? I don't remember - does ksetiwatch provide an updated sky-map illustrating the places you've looked? That's a nice feature of tkseti. My eccliptic is almost solid green.

Errrr.... you made me look on that one -- I had always known it to be by George Orwell, never heard of this "blair" character, but appearently Blair is a pseudonym that Orwell used -- chalk that up to "learning something today" [or history rewritten ;) ]

Hmmm... if I follow the words and translation, "unsavory thoughts" == SELFTHINK == "thinking for one's self". Considering what I understand the storyline to be, I can see how that conclusion would be reached [I never actually read the book, and only saw the tail end of a movie made from the book, but I've heard enough about it from other sources & references that this is easy to infer] - -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://osnut.homelinux.net/TomEmerson.asc iD8DBQE+eCTQV/YHUqq2SwsRAkEdAKCRmAi5xHjCyXFsxDgofwqgaDshyACZASyu YCTZr04TZQh1/jNkgyHaDQI= =ERMx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I thought Eric Blair was his real name and George Orwell the nom-de-plume. Dylan -- "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in a final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed—those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending its money alone—it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." —Dwight Eisenhower, Speech (1953)

http://www.levity.com/corduroy/orwell.htm The British author George Orwell, pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, b. Motihari, India, June 25, 1903, d. London, Jan. 21, 1950, achieved prominence in the late 1940s as the author of two brilliant satires attacking totalitarianism. Familiarity with the novels, documentaries, essays, and criticism he wrote during the 1930s and later has since established him as one of the most important and influential voices of the century.

FYI: Eric Blair is more commonly known as George Orwell. But you probably already knew that. ;-) "Oldthinkers unbellyfeel ingsoc !" [sent from Airstrip One]

Hi David, Sometimes the SETI stats webpage is 'behind' for up to a day. I know it is frustrating, but they always catch up. My KSETIwatch sez 1717 units and going here: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/fcgi-bin/fcgi?email=peterb%40vancampen.org&cmd=user_stats_new also sez 1717. Give it some time; if the wabpage doesn't catch up let us know. PeterB -- -- Proud to be a SuSE Linux User since 5.2 --
