Ok, I had finally gotten my first work unit downloaded, and it processed over the last couple of days. It finished, and saved the work, but I don't seem to be able to load the finished unit back to the server, and/or download the next core.
I did have a message when I got home from my virus software warning me that Folding@home was trying to access the internet, and I selected to Always Allow it, but that has not solved the problem. I've restarted several times, and even did a system restore to yesterday's checkpoint to see if it was the new windows update that screwed it up.
Here's some pertinent messages from the log:
[02:37:21] + Attempting to send results
[02:37:21] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server
[02:37:21] + Could not connect to Work Server (results)
[02:37:21] (171.65.103.100:8080)
[02:37:21] Could not transmit unit 01 to Collection server; keeping in queue.
[02:37:26] + Downloading new core: FahCore_79.exe
[02:37:26] - Error: HTTP GET returned error code 0
[02:37:26] + Error: Could not download core
[02:37:26] + Core download error (#3), waiting before retry...
Any ideas???
While there's prolly a million ways to resolve this.
Here's a suggestion.
click. start--Run
in the box type cmd. hit enter.
do a c:\ping 171.65.103.100:8080
if the firewall barks, there's the answer. If it doesn't, it's probabably blocked already.
The stanford server could have been down at the time.
Lots of reasons. shrug.
