I have the Folding@home503 client installed on one of my machines and I just found that it hasn't complete a work unit for some time. It keep say "Attemping to get work packet" although I have restarted the service and application... But it still says this? Why is it?

Any help please! Must not stop folding for the cause!!! :D

171.64.122.76 is up. You don't have it configured to use IE Settings do you?

I would nuke (uninstall) the horrible, evil and end of the world graphical client you are currently using as the first step. After that you will need a new client. You could go with the new 6.20 client but I have no clue if it has any bugs that could cause problems. The other option would be to go to this page and download the tried and true 5.04 console client.

That would probably take care of your problems.
