I had an exponent that completed LL testing Saturday morning but when Prime95 went to send the results, the log shows it received "ERROR 3: Exponent not assigned to this computer." My individual primenet account report and the primenet assignments report shows the exponent still assigned to me, so it doesn't appear to be a case of someone else checking in a result for the same exponent.
The exponent is 26287397. Any ideas on what might have happened? How do I check in my result now?
I had a couple of these. The problem "went away" when the assignments were checked in again one day later.
[Thu Feb 17 11:22:16 2005 - ver 23.5] Updating computer information on the server Sending expected completion date for M28509197: Feb 22 2005 ERROR 3: Exponent not assigned to this computer.
Unfortunately, Prime95 had completed my exponent and now does not believe it has anything left to report for that exponent as far as I can tell, so the problem won't just go away when Prime95 next checks in. There's no .spl file around with results waiting to be sent. There's no save file for the exponent either and the exponent is no longer in my worktodo.ini.
As I understand it, if I check in the results with the manual checkin forms, I get GIMPS credit but I don't get primenet credit for the exponent. I could restore a backup of the most recent save file for the exponent and let Prime95 finish the LL test again and hope the result is accepted. (I think the most recent savefile I could restore is approx. 3-4 hours from completion.)
Any other suggestions/options?
Thanks, Brian
