Gettin up there bump!
Just for information, anyone who gets the message from their FAH "Attempting to send results" for a long time, it's best to just wait. That usually means that the server that issued the work unit is down for maintainance, but when it comes back up, the program will be able to send the completed work unit. From what I understand, the program will continue to fold a new unit it downloaded from another server, so no time is lost.
Sorry I wasn't bright enough to save the link to the solution. I remember that in the GUI version you right-click on the system tray icon, choose 'configure' and then choose the 'connections' tab; uncheck 'use Internet explorer connection settings' and then OK. There may be something else but I have misplaced the memory right now.
