Hello,
i allready noticed this Problem being connected to use_proxy=yes. But i have to use this one.
Is it possible to upload the WU from another machine with direct connection?

[08:05:17] + Attempting to send results
[08:05:38] - Unknown packet returned from server, expected ACK for results
[08:05:38] Could not transmit unit 01 to Collection server; keeping in queue.

Welcome to the forums!

It is most certainly possible, see here for how to use "sneakernetting".

I hope that helps :)

thanks,

i will try this but the article says to use "deadlineless" WUs. But this is not true in my case. I will try anyway hoping it works.

It is true that the article says to use deadlineless WUs, which in any event are not distributed anymore. The Pande Group recommonds not doing this with standard units because of the extra time taken in returning units using this method. However, in cases where it is the only method which will work, and if the additional time lag will be small (I assumed you would have regular access to both machines you would be using, the one with a proxy, which will do the processing and the one which is connected directly), then it is not too much of a problem.
