Hi all Firstly, i've had a search and can't find it anywhere on the site. If this has been brought up then please can you post a link for me! I've a few PC's using the standard single core client. They've been working fine for months and now they've suddenly all stopped. The SMP client is still going but the others have stopped saying "Attempting to get work packet". I've not changed anything recently in the firewall department and the fact that the other computer with the SMP client is ok proves this (it's a single hardware firewall and all the windows firewalls are turned off). I've checked everything and it appears to be as it should. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Hard to say what the problem is, it could be just that Stanford has run out of standard CPU WUs to hand out. Can you post the log file from the client(s) that aren't working?
Here's the last entry in the log file. The rest is simply repeated over and over again. [12:14:41] + Attempting to get work packet [12:14:41] - Connecting to assignment server [12:15:02] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server [12:15:02] + Could not connect to Assignment Server [12:15:03] + No appropriate work server was available; will try again in a bit. [12:15:03] + Couldn't get work instructions. [12:15:03] - Attempt #275 to get work failed, and no other work to do. Waiting before retry. I assume there's isn't any work for them to do then!

the Stupid B4 cores most likely you may be able to not get them by setting ram use to 64mb, small packets and no to ADV work units, But an random panda gui posted something about 500MB and ADV but was Cryptic about it so was not sure if he was saying thats how you miss them other option is to send the B4 server to 127.0.0.1 or block it in your router and so it picks an different server as i have done as they Screw up my systems speeds (low end systems seem to suffer quite badly even with CPU limits set to 82% on all of them) B4 is Broken was and broken before they made if fully public, no natter what tweaking they do its an Bad core and seems rushed
Check the Stanford Server pages to see if the appropriate server is up and running. Try to ping the server. If the server seems OK, then try restarting the client - every time it waits for 'will try again in a bit', the wait gets longer. Sometimes a simple restart is enough to get the client going again.
try change the Automatic detect settings tick box on Internet explorer {connections > LAN}(try it on or off and restart it the FAH client) as your not connecting to the AS server restarting the router as well if that not been done all ready
I've tried most of the stuff you've mentioned. I'm using at work so restartnig the router isn't an option. We're on a pretty big system so I can't really make many changes.
