Mersenne: GIMPS: App error and dial-up

2000-08-14 Thread Dennis Peter
I'm reporting a bug that I just noticed, but it seems to be fixed now. I am using a dial-up connection on an NT 4.0 machine, but I wasn't connected to the Internet and my Prime95 client wanted to connect. Prime95 said it would "try again in 60 minutes". I rebooted my machine (for whatever rea
