Do you think I've lost this WU?

Crypto

Hi chaps,

been having some trouble with my pc at work, I think IT have been playing with security.

I have this WU that just will not send. It seems to me that the format of the server ID is wrong (I've highlighted in red). Perhaps it got corrupted somehow.

I've had completed WUs since and they all send OK.

Any thoughts how I can recover it?

chances are it's a problem with their server over the weekend and they usually end up correcting it early once the week gets started. I wouldn't mess with it just let it stay in que and they'll accept it eventually.

Just an update for anybody following this thread with a similar problem.

I've had a reply from the folding community forum and the concensus is that the server address is corrupted. I'm going to have a go at changing the queue.dat file with a hex editor to see if I can redirect it. Wish me luck

Cheers

Success

The problem was a corrupted server address. Got the right address from the project summary at Standford.
Hardest part was finding the right bit in the Hex file of Queue.dat and altering it.

WU has now gone off to the right place, 136 points
