The outcome of this is that I need a version of the old port 9000 with the clean-up work on it that I can just run like before.

Well, right now we have PRPnet G2000, which is loaded with non-top-5000 doublecheck work right now (k=300-400, n=300K-350K). Since (if memory serves) you're already set up for PRPnet, that might be what you're looking for.

BTW: do you know what kind of issues are preventing you from accessing the top-5000 site through Charter? Is it having trouble resolving the domain in DNS? If so, that can probably be fixed by plugging in an alternate DNS server.

In case you want to try accessing directly by IP: primes.utm.edu is 208.87.72.63

Brucifer · 2009-07-08, 22:38

it's a route issue. Can't even get it doing the ip address thing. Impossible to talk to the help desk folks as they just work from their canned worksheet, then get pissed, etc. One of the benefits of all this offshore/outsourcing crap in this country.

@max, I'll see if I still have a prpnet thing on one of these systems to give that a whirl and see what happens. Thnx

I just build me another quad and I thouht I should try a little bit noprimesleftbehind...
...but I ran into some minor problems here...
I have tried several servers - nplb-gb.1.no-ip.org, noprimeleftbehind.net, llrnet.noprimeleftbehind.net and nplb.ironbits.net - but I only get 'unknown host' every time I tries...
Clearly I'm doing something wrong here... but what ??

First of all, nplb-gb1.no-ip.org (not nplb-gb.1.no-ip.org) is down ATM, so you won't get anything there for now. nplb.ironbits.net (a.k.a. llrnet.noprimeleftbehind.net) is up; I can access it without a problem at http://nplb.ironbits.net/. Are you trying to connect to it through the LLRnet client, or with a web browser?

One thing to note: nplb.ironbits.net, noprimeleftbehind.net, and llrnet.noprimeleftbehind.net all point to the same IP address. While they will lead to different web pages if visited with a browser, the LLRnet client can use any of them interchangeably. (In fact, by extension, any of the other domains hosted on David's server will work in the client, too: ironbits.net, free-dc.org, stats.free-dc.org, etc.)

Thanks for the answer mdettweiler

I tried to connect though the LLRnet client.
I have changed the 'llr-clientconfig.txt-file like this:
-- server location
server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
-- server = "noprimeleftbehind.net"
-- server = "llrnet.noprimeleftbehind.net"
-- server = "nplb-gb1.no-ip.org"
-- server = "llrnet.ironbits.net"
port = 5000
I've tried all of these servers and the last one was 'nplb.ironbits.net' - still 'unknown host'...
I have to say that I run nplb on two other computers, and on them I use the 'nplb.ironbits.net'-server... works like a charm there...

Hmm...weird. Just on a hunch, is the computer in question using Linux? Specifically, a Debian- or Red Hat-based distro of Linux?

Yes - Linux Ubuntu 9.04 (64-bit)

Okay, try using 98.174.238.119 as the server address and see if that works.

YESSS !!!!
It works

Thanks mdettweiler - much appreciated - again... thanks

I run several Linux servers and workstations and I do not have that issue.
I think that your server entry is incomplete as you do not have the "www." precedent in front.
It should be

Quote:

server = "www.noprimeleftbehind.net"

The IP address is not likely to change soon but using the correct server name is preferred in case that should happen.
If you can spare the time to do a test with this server name it would be much appreciated.
