Problems getting work

One of my computers sent back it's latest work. Now, for the last 20 minutes, I get:

[03:35:27] Loaded queue successfully.
[03:35:27] - Error: Bad packet type from server, expected work assignment

I've seen this before, but only for a couple of times. Never this long. I do have internet connection, as I can get on the web and get mail. I have rebooted a couple of times, and stopped and started Folding, no go.
Is there anything I can do, or is this a problem with Stanford?
Thanks;
Dragstk
One other question-my sig. below is pretty far off from EOC and Statsman's. Both of them have me listedat over 7100 points. Anyone know why?

    usually the machine will try different servers. if it doesn't a reboot usuall fixes that. Have you checked server status at Stanford? The may be having trafic problems right now.

    How do I tell which server I am connected to? And how do you check the server status?
    Sorry for the noob questions.

    Try stopping the client and restarting it again.

    I went to the Stanford Folding site. From my log file, I am assigned to 171.67.89.150. It says it has 4 WU's, but the box is red. Does red mean that it is low on work?
    mmonnin-I've started and stopped 3 times now. It benchmarks, then just get the bad packet error.

    I had the prob too on two of my boxes. A reboot straightened it out. Things should be getting back on track.

    Well after about 40 tries, I'm working again.
    I rebooted and stopped and started Folding several times, but that didn't help. I went to the Server Status page. For my address, there was/is only 3 WU's available. Also, the net load (# of server connections) is very high. They say 20-30 is high, but there were 51 connections.
    The funny thing is, all 3 of my computers are on the same server, and during the night, one of my other computers, sent and got work. Yet this one didn't get anything until this morning.
    Oh well, learn something new every day.
    Thanks for the help, everyone.
    Now if I could get my sig. to update, I'd be happy

    I had it on 2 clients this morning. Reboot of the client worked.

    You all aren't the only ones having this problem. This thread over at the folding communtiy forums indicates that Stanford must have loaded a bunch of bad WU's into server 150 and their assignment server logic still isn't good enough to realize that something is very wrong and take 150 out of the assignment loop. :rolleyes: Same old story, just a different day. :wtf:

    I cant get anything now on my 2.4 Ghz Athlon. Doing a backup Genome atm.

    Edit: Just got a WU.

    I've noticed that my last 2 WU's came from different servers. Maybe they know there is a problem with that 1 server.
    Kind of a moot point though, as we are all switching to another program :), no wait, that was a joke j/k
