F@H Workserver/Statserver down for two days now?

[MichaelD]

Is it my internet connection, or is the server really down? I've got a lot of work queued up and ready to send...would also like to get new work!

I can send work fine, but getting work is another story entirely. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... for 8 or 10 hours at a time.

Thanks, jliechty; it's reassuring to see that I'm not the only one.

 

[ProviaFan]

Yeah... there are others on the folding community forums also (a few at least).

The forums have been screwed up today also for me.

I got a WU without problem an hour ago.

What server is your client trying to connect to?

Does it at least connect to the Assignment Server?

 

[MichaelD]

The log file says "Assignment Server 2"

The second post in This thread has some links to test connectivity.

I too have trouble with this stuff and I am a Cisco Certified Network Associate!

Thanks, GLeeM! Guess what? That link helped; the Administrator mentioned firewall. I remembered I was messing w/my routers' firewall settings the other day. I changed them from Low to Med. Guess what? My connectivity problem was my fault.

Reset it to low, all is well now. Thanks again.

Let's just forget all about this little thread here, Hmm? OK?

/whistles and walks away

Depending on the router, you should be able to set to Med. and then set to allow which apps and/or IP addresses you wish. If I remember right this is called ACL, for hmmm... Access Control List (?) I think. You can allow in and/or out going data packets.

Is it time to ignore something else AGAIN already!?!?

 

[MichaelD]

Yeah, I can allow port 8080....just didn't feel like messing with it...was just so happy I REMEMBERED what I did.
