Major Folding Help Needed

Post by **DMB2000uk** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 7:13 am

I have about 16 WU's that hace completed on my machine that won't send to the stanford servers. Its also being patchy when it tries to download new WU's.

I have stuff like this, from unit 1 to 8 on one machine:

"[12:58:46] + Attempting to send results
[12:59:17] Couldn't send HTTP request to server (wininet)
[12:59:17] + Could not connect to Work Server (results)
[12:59:17] (171.65.103.160:8080)
[12:59:17] - Error: Could not transmit unit 07 (completed January 17) to work server."

And ditto for the other one.

Why isnt it connecting and sending, is there anything I can do to make it work short of deleting all my F@H clients and reinstalling them (in doing so loosing my WU's).

All other internet connectivity is fine, there are no blocked firewall programs ot ports.

happens some time. Just wait it out? Did it download another workunit or is it just stuck that way?

Well I thought I'd try to leave it to rectify itself, thats why I have like 8 unsent WU's on both cores. Sometimes it wont recieve new units, but then it will pick one up (there might be a correlation between me restarting my PC and it being suddenly able to find a new WU, though I'm not certain, and even if there is, its not helping the sending WU's).

But I've pretty much exhausted everything I can think of to make it send, so was wondering if anyone else had some tricks up their sleeves, but yeah its looking like I'm gonna have to try and let it sort its self out.

Dan,
Are you using a software firewall? (even windows firewall)
If you are, make sure you make a rule/exception for FAH to pass through the firewall.

there are no blocked firewall programs or ports

Nope, nothing blocking it. I even tried it with norton off and still no luck.

OK, a lot later and its still got a queue of 9 WU's in each console, it seems that most of the new finishing WU's are making it out to the server OK now, so my question is this;

1.Should I leave the consoles in their futile attempt at sending these 18WU's back home to stanford in the hopes of them getting through before the WU's respective deadlines and still getting points.

2. Or should I wait till the current WU's are completed then delete the work queue and start again, as I have stuff that was completed as early as the 15th Dec and the deadline may have already passed.

PS. The codes seem to be alternating between "could not send HTTP request to server", and a 503 busy code, mostly the could not send HTTP though.

post your entire log from one of the offending clients as well as your entire user.cfg.

Worse comes to worse, post those two logs on here http://forum.folding-community.org/

if you really lazy, post them here and I'll post them under my name on the site

I think its related to IE7, to be truthful

I notice you are runnning XPPro. have you by any chance updated to IE7?
There have been a lot problems returning WU's in IE7 if you have set your client to use IE settings during configuration. The best way to set up the client is with proxy-no and use IE settings-no.

lol, that would have been the auto text entry on my wii doing silly things.

I changed the F@H ssetting, and they all sent of to stanford, though I don't seem to have gained points for them... must of found out too late, i.e. past the WU's deadlines to get points.

Thanks for the tips and help.
