can anyone tell me what this means. I switched to a new computer and have had problems ever since. I have tried a couple of things to fix it, but am thinking I may need to completely re-install the program. thanks jennifer

Are you having problems with Einstein, too (or just SETI Beta)? Before re-installing, you should determine if the problem is with all projects or just the one. And, if it's only with SETI Beta, you should post the problem on their message board.

Here is a link to the BOINC Wiki that explains "cant resolve host name" messages.
