Work Server Down?

Camman

I'm not one to get too involved with checking out log files and such, I usually just turn it on and let go but I noticed the status on my little cog icon has been "Attempting to get work.." for quite some time, is there something wrong with the server, tried restarting the client but i still get this:

How can we change the server to one that is giving out WU's? I have one other FAH that is in the same boat.

I already tried deleting and starting from scratch except I did not delete my FAH.exe file and DNL a new console. I'm using ver 5.02

One of ours was doing it too, the other night. It got to attempt #9, so i left it to it's own devices as it was very late.
Got up the next morning to find it folding it's little heart out.

I know it is not a fix, but in our case it did correct itself.

Not sure. 127 is not even on the Server Status page.

Weird, I don't see either 127 or the one in my FAH.

Is there a way to manually assign a server?

Server 127 and server 156 are showing in the serverstats page now. Maybe they went down this weekend and they've rebooted them this morning or maybe they had them offline for some reason.

EDIT: I just checked at the folding community forums and it looks like 127 was having problems this weekend. I don'tsee anything recent about 156. Maybe it ran out of wu's and didn't tell the assignment server again. Their server setup still has issues.
