George,
Typical the only machine I did NOT backup the files on and it goes nuts on me...
Running on a Pentium Pro 200
My user id is MOates
I started up the new version, it connected to the server and started to get new
numbers to
factor it stopped at 14 more numbers before I could stop it, by that time it had
stopped
getting new numbers to factor on it's own. I now have about 2 years of numbers to LL
test
!!! It was not ready to get any more numbers, I already had enough work for over 1
month
(DaysOfWork=14 in prim.ini)
Before this happened I had a few numbers to factor and one to test and the worktodo.ini
was...
Factor=10440383,55 <- it was half way through this one
Factor=10440433,55
Factor=10440461,55
Factor=10440509,55
Factor=10440511,55
Test=7206811,62
It is now...
Factor=10440383,55
Factor=10440433,55
Factor=10440461,55
Factor=10440509,55
Factor=10440511,55
Test=7206811,62
Test=7657963,63
Test=7666349,63
Test=7672111,63
Test=7678291,63
Test=7678961,63
Test=7679383,63
Test=7679561,63
Test=7680259,63
Test=7680527,63
Test=7681369,63
Test=7681691,63
Test=7681693,63
Test=7682111,63
Test=7683017,63
Another Problem
===============
Another problem reared it's head as soon as it started to factor 7206811,62 (even
though
it was half way through factoring 10440383,55 before)
Prime95 kept contacting the server every 10-15 secs for "Updating computer information
on
the server"
An extract from the prime.log shows what was happening from when I first started with
v19...

Notice how the expected completion date is the same date !
I had a look at the other .ini files to see if anything was amiss, in the local.ini
there
is a line...
BroadcastID=1
Surly that should normally be 0, and no matter what I did - restarting Prime95 or
editing
the value directly to 0 it still contacts the server every few seconds, in fact every
time
it outputs a line to the window.
Help !!!
First how can I get rid of all those numbers to test I only wanted the one "7206811,62"
Any other ideas as to how I get this working again without messing up any work already
done.
Even if I had made a backup, there would still be all those numbers to sort out on the
server.
Another issue
=============
While I am here, there is still a problem (that was with v18.1) that as soon as Prime95
(or mprime on linux) tries to contact the server via proxy (WinProxy) starts to bring
up
the connection (via dialup) but before the dialup completes Prime95 gives the error...
ERROR: Primenet error 29
The proxy dialup continues and establises a working internet connection. I can then
manually get Prime95 to contact the server. So it is using the proxy, but it's as
though
there is not enough time allowed before the internet connection is made. (with ISDN
this
delay is only about 2 secs) I did make a report on this a few days ago, and maybe it
has
not yet been acted on. I was just hoping the new version would work. Note that I have 2
networks, (home & work) one uses ISDN the other modem, they both have the same problem.
Sorry for the long email, but I am sure you can't have too much info when sorting
problems
out like this. If you want any more info just ask.
Thanks,
Mike,
