If you can get on the internet, then the problem is either with Stanford or with the F@H program.

1. Go to a website that you normally do not visit (eg walmart.com) and make sure that it loads a fresh page.

2. Wait a bit and see if F@H resolves the problem itself. If you see that we have no points or few points on the noon update at extreme overclocking, then Stanford is just overloaded. You were credited with a work unit at noon yesterday.

3. If the problem still persists, erase the contents of the F@H directory and reinstall into that directory. Sometimes bads stuff just happens to our F@H core, or the Windows system.

Still other potential problems but those are mostly proxy issues or ISP issues.

Hope this helps!

Reboot. That seems to be the only cure. I've tried reconfiguring FAH - I'll post in a couple of days if it works. (just got big WU - about 2 or 3 days to crunch)
