Help Please, SM12 Cant Connect To The Work Server

Jimborae

SM12 hasn't been able to connect to the work server to download anything for a couple of days now. Anybody got any ideas??? And yes she does have a working internet connection.

Cheers

Can you post a snippet of the log for us, Jim?

BTW, if you have it configured to do timeless wu work, that is the problem. Stanford isn't sending out any timeless work any more, so if you have it configured for timeless it just won't get any work. Just reset it it for folding only or no-preference.

Hi Mud, that could just well be it, I'll check now....Nope don't think that was the problem.

I'll post the log when I get home from work tonight, thanks

OK, sounds good, Jim. Post a logfile snippet and also it wouldn't hurt to post a screenie of the config opened in wordpad too.

Right here's the relevant part of the log file.

Folding@Home Client Shutdown.

Completely wipe your F@H install and install it from scratch - especially make sure your client.cfg is wiped out. This is the timeless WU problem. Make sure you use all default options (except you can still use bigpackets if you have more than 512mb of ram in SM12) and it should work.

Jimborae

Hmmm F@H seems to know that you're on case Prime as it's just managed to download a WU and SM12 is now crunching again. Wierd :smokin:

Think I'll keep a close eye on her for the next week to check it doesn't go screwy again.

Cheers guys.

another one back on the boards! thanks, Jimbo!

Actually, the server that it was trying to get work from was a regualr work server and not a timeless server. The timeless servers were 112, 120 adn 133, if I remember right.

One thing I've seen is that the setting for using IE settings can fubar stuff. If you aren't connecting then either check or uncheck the box for it in that gui client, then restart the client, Jim.
