---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 12:47:22 -0800 (AKDT) From: Gordon Bower <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mersenne: Error 12002 I've seen sporadic episodes of error messages before during temporary server outages. However, haven't seen one that lasted this long. I now have several machines that have been unable to report for six days in a row. One of them is nearly out of work (though I can reserve assignements manually if I need to.) Looking through the Forum archives it appears Error 12002 is a version 21-specific problem that occurs when entropia.com is down even if mersenne.org is up. On Saturday entropia.com was indeed down. However, entropia's website has been up since sometime Sunday, and I have *still* been getting hourly 12002s on three different systems. No firewalls on my end, and no settings have changed on my end either. Any advice? I would also ask the "keeper of the faq" to add a few new lines to it about these "new" (since 2 years or so ago) error messages that aren't described in the online information.

See http://www.mersenneforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=3 for downloading links. This is a beta release, but should work OK. Speed improvements of 3 to 8% can be expected for Athlon, Duron, Pentium 3, and Celeron 2 owners. Four or five changes have been added to reduce the chance of another false prime report. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Jul 2003 00:46:39 -0400 From: George Woltman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Mersenne: Error 12002 At 12:47 PM 7/1/2003 -0800, Gordon Bower wrote: >Looking through the Forum archives it appears Error 12002 is a version >21-specific problem that occurs when entropia.com is down even if >mersenne.org is up.

As suggested, I've added error 12002 to the FAQ. I've also emailed Scott to see if he can get Entropia to restart GIMPS message forwarding process _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ End of Mersenne Digest V1 #1079 *******************************
