Anyone else getting connection problems trying to get to the FAH website or connecting to receive WU's? I can get to anything on the web except that, and i'm outside any firewall's. Anyone? :confused:
 
the website is working fine for me and as far as i know, my machine at home is receiving/sending work units just fine. are you behind a router or anything?
 
I'm not sure about sending or receiving WUs, but I can get on the Folding website fine. Also, looking at the server status page most of the servers are online.
 
Have you checked your error log for reasons it is not getting any WU's?

Firewall?

Norton Antivirus (or similar) blocking the download? hmm.
 
%$#@! This is really irkin me. Outside our firewalls routers everything i can't even do an NSLOOKUP on stanford.edu. anything else in the world works... not stanford. Why the f would they have us blocked? I'm the fw/router admin at my place, and I know we don't have any policies, we're wide open... meanwhile I have 25 machines w/out a WU :(
 
might be where you work at... I know some edu places have blocked outside access, or very limited access... shouldnt be the case for f@h... but maybe...

(i know b/c i had problems even when i went to school there trying to connect to sites outside... )

go post on the forums there http://folding.stanford.edu

maybe they can help you figure out why they are blocking..
 
Actually I've seen this same situation at my job, it seems that stanford will just disappear for hours at a time, and mystically reappaar. It doesn't make any sense, but I've learned to live with it.

 
OOOOKKKKK, so that was weird. Rebooted our Primary DNS server and it's fine now... don't ask how... but it works... I've never seen a DNS server make it so you can't tracerout an IP... oh well... stupid M$ DNS, maybe I'll try BIND. The shitty part is I have to go rebooting EVERY client, they don't seem to be picking up the renewed connection... I guess having all those machines hitting the same site corrupted the DNS service somehow. :eek:

Thanks for the input.

Fold on!
