Timeout when pulsing
2 days ago my WhatPulse started to timeout whenever it tried to pulse. The error message I get is
"Error: Could not connect to server." I have never experienced this before and now I get it every time. As far as I know, I have made no changes which should be able to affect this. I'm on Vista x64. *EDIT* I just noticed there are other posts about this (for some reason I couldn't see them when I looked before I posted...), my apologies. |

Checking through the user stats I see that lots of pulses are being recorded but I'm getting the same error as you. I suspect that the interface between version 1.5 and the server is broken. I'm sure it'll get fixed soon

Version 1.5 pulses the results to the server 83.96.159.250:3490 which is down for 2 days by now. But the server at 83.96.159.249:3490 which the client 1.6 is using is fully operational.
Use this trick to be able to pulse with 1.5: Open [FONT="Lucida Console"]%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts[/FONT] with your editor and append the line Code: 83.96.159.249 whatpulse.org Code: [FONT="Lucida Console"]ipconfig /flushdns[/FONT] Be aware: This will redirect the host whatpulse.org, so you will not be able to open the WhatPulse website under http://www.whatpulse.org/ (forums should work - I think). If you want to undo this, simple delete the inserted line in the hosts file and flush the DNS cache again. ____ Join klamm.de and our WhatPulse-team at www.whatpulse-team.de. |

I have the same problem and I'm using version 1.5.1 (Cherry) too. I tried to pulse on an other computer so I tried to do it like it's told in knowledge base "using whatpulse on an USB drive". Then I noticed that this just works for versions 1.6 and higher.
Then I tried it the way it is mentioned here and now I keep getting the error: "Acitivity throttle breached, try again in an hours or so". I googled this error but I didn't find any helpful threads. Will it really work if I wait? |

You get this "Acitivity throttle breached, try again in an hours or so" error when you tried to pulse to often. You should be able to pulse in a couple of hours.

Hi,
Disregard that hosts file edit. It should work again. |
