problem still persists :(

[06:48:13] + Attempting to get work packet
[06:48:13] - Connecting to assignment server
[06:48:13] + Could not authenticate Assignment Server response
[06:48:13] + Couldn't get work instructions.
[06:48:13] - Error: Attempt #34 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.

I also got that @ school once.

Install it , copy it on a different location and try to run it then.
After a few times , mine worked.

none of the 7+ PC's here can get new units, installed and reinstalled about a dozen times now :/

very strange idd, and you can connect to internet etc? firewall accept? I don't think you forgot something like that, so it's very strange.

see in the logs when your fah doesn't download anymore , like last yesterday around 7.35h or smthing and maybe you can work it out or find the problem.

I just copied my folding@home folder and runned it on a other partition disk and that worked for me.

I hope you can fix it.

I assume that you can use mozilla/internet explorer ?

inet through proxy is working perfectly. getting new WU's since monday is impossible.. it's possible they started block port 8080, but I have no clue :/

Maybe you should try http tunneling, just to check if thats the problem offcourse :D

http tunnel
Code Guru

thanks! I'll try it out tomorrow!

I got it to work after installing 2 custom softwares thanks to http://www.overclockers.com.au/folding/HTTP%20Proxy.htm

and the HTTP Tunnel proggy from Maddy

unfortunately the client no longer runs hidden and it's quite a bugger to install + HTTP tunnel soft is not free.. blah!

anywhooo.. this reduces the amount of PC's I can use for F@H here to.. 2 I'm afraid :/

but looking at the stats since Sunday evening when the PC@work stopped folding, it seems output has not lowered that much.. if any.. http://www.foldingatwork.com/team.jsp?teamID=37249

making me believe that I need to manually upload the finished WU's at work every day.. which is quite a bore at 16kb/s :-/


ah yes.. btw, cheapest HTTP Tunnel license limits transfer speeds to 1.5kb/s ...
