another install issue

[inkfx]

This is the error I just got:
Error: Attempt #1 to get work failed, and no other work to do. Waiting before retry.

I just threw a graphics card into my E6400 rig so I could get FOLDing installed and running while I wont be using it. Is this something on my end that needs to be fixed or is it because of servers?

[WarriorII]

Which client are you using?

Wedos one click?
SMP?
Graphics?
Service install?
Windows or Linux?

[inkfx]

I used Wedos one click.

Do you have any firewall software blocking it? Have you tried pinging the Stanford server? The IP should be in the log.

[inkfx]

My anti-virus was disabled. assign.stanford.edu is the only adress that I can ping and I get an average of 57. Here is exactly what it says:

Something is up there. DNS jiggery pokery?

The Assignment Server now defaults to 0.0.0.0 if there is a problem or there is no work. What does client.cfg look like? This is the type error you'd get if you edited client.cfg to change the clienttype to type=2 (deadlineless servers are all off line). Perhaps now you'd get the same error if you edited client.cfg with wordpad.

[inkfx]

Here is what client.cfg has in it. The only thing I had to change was my username. I'm using notepad to view and edit.

[settings]
username=inkfx
team=32
asknet=no
machineid=1
local=362
bigpackets=no

[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080
usereg=no

[clienttype]
type=1

[core]
priority=0
cpuusage=100
disableassembly=no
checkpoint=15
ignoredeadlines=no

[power]
battery=no

Try metapad (http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/). Open the client.cfg and make sure you didn't mess up and carriage returns. Metapad will read a unix/bin file so you can read it.

If the client.cfg looks like the above in notepad, you bork'd it. Pull the one from the wedo one-click file and re-edit it in metapad.

[inkfx]

Pull the one from the wedo one-click file and re-edit it in metapad.
I tried that and I still get the same error.

[ChasR]

You might want to edit local to zero if you want the log to accurately reflect how many WUs you've completed.
Heres the standard connectivity test:

What happens when you click the following links?

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/
http://assign2.stanford.edu/
http://171.65.103.100
http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/
http://171.65.103.160

You should get the Pandegroup site on the first, and in IE a screen saying OK on the last four. If you don't get the OK, something is blocking the connection.

[inkfx]

Well im not on my C2D now. I was using my dads graphics card and was hoping to get it fixed within that time. When I get another chance at using his card I'll try those things.

[Junebug]

I am getting the same thing on one of my clients right now. I was able to sneaker-net two WU's just now, but yet my farm client has been trying for 45 minutes so far with no luck. It looks like the servers are squirrelly again ( perfect Friday night situation). Sometimes it gets 0.0.0.0, sometimes a real server, but it can't seem to get work.
