do you have to do that then or will it solve itself ???

i have done it so it is no problem but seems a bit of a pain especially across multiple machines.

[Beerknurd]

I'm at work so I can't change mine. I'm sure changeing the registry is a temporary fix. I'm sure it will come back up eventually. If it hasn't come back up by the time I get back home I may turn them offline until they come back up and then submit the results.

[Empty_5oul]

thats pretty much what you are doing now, just queing up. the server will hit it big time when everone comes back or if it reverts the problems itself.

[Beerknurd]

This problem has been corrected. Pls change back to sb.pns.net

** EDIT

dont worry about changing back it does it automatically on next connect if it was seventeenorbust.com. Mine was after i changed it yet now it is fine.

[Beerknurd]

Well they are still having problems......

[Empty_5oul]

yep. i still cant connect :S, a few poeple seem to but the scores shown on TPR stats are well down. this is the first problem i have ever seen in SOB. it seems that every project has its faults

[andrewdodd13]

i haven't had any troubles today [or yesterday], and i didn't change anything... i assume its fixed now for everyone?

[Empty_5oul]

doesnt seem that way, look at the teams scores.

loads of us are still having problems - i guess it is the time delay as it bounces round all the worlds servers.

[Beerknurd]

I'm still not connecting......

I hope SOB is going BOINC on us. It sure seems like the same kinda problems. Maybe the SOB client has BOINC parts under it's hood. That would explain all the problems. :lol:

[Empty_5oul]

lol, you would be the only one to think that with your love for anything BOINC lol.

[Beerknurd]

Well you know.... I got mine working.....

[rrcrain]

I've tried the fix and it doesn't work for me. Any suggestions?

[Empty_5oul]

mine wont connect either, i am on usual adress NOT seventeenorbust.com but something like phs.net

[Beerknurd]

Stop client


Start --> Run --> type regedit <enter>

click on folders

hkey_local_machine-->software-->LhDn-->sob-->config

Then select one left click on

serv_addr (it turns blue etc)

then right click modify

type seventeenorbust.com click O.K.


Make sure that you restart your client afterwards. Then confirm that it says seventeenorbus in the host section of the configuration screen. I did this and it works fine.

[rrcrain]

I did exactly that, even tried rebooting the machine and no luck.

[bwhite]

SOB has started working again for me :) My ISP's DNS servers must have updated overnight. sb.pns.net is what I have for the serv_addr....I never changed anything

[Beerknurd]

I have mine set to seventeenorbust.com

I'll try switching it back tonight.

[Empty_5oul]

forget doing anything it has reverted itself the stats are nice to look at again lol.
