Problem connecting to the work server
roland_dmp
Oklahoma New
OK, I let my guard down for one day, and now my P4 rig is sitting idle. Why? Because it won't connect to the work server. After it finished it's last WU, it had no problems sending in the work - but as soon as it queried a new WU, it started getting the message, "could not connect to Work Server". It's probably tried at least 100 times since it started getting this message. I've tried everything short of just reinstalling the console. Any suggestions?

I had a few similar things happen a week or two ago. Hope you get it fixed soon.
I am getting a different message now - here's a quick log paste to show you what it says:

This has been going on for over 5 days now
Strangely enough though, after nearly 5 days of not working, it magically finally got a new WU! :confused2 I'm pretty sure it's nothing I did to it too. I did notice though that before it got a WU that works it had a problem with 3 or 4 of them first. Let me jump on that rig and post the log for it again.
From looking at this, it would seem that Stanford was either sending me bad packets, or I'm getting bad packets through my DSL line (but that wouldn't explain why I've had absolutely no problems on my main AMD rig. Odd. Oh well, at least it started working again.
