Glas, this is what I could find on your problems. Have you installed .Net 2.0?

With the SMP for Windows client, a CoreStatus = 63 can either be a permissions problem or a MPI registration problem, or both. To fix the problem, set the properties of the fah.exe file to "Run as Administrator" and then run the "install.bat" file again to register MPI and the SMPD service.

Failure to install .NET 2.0 (Win 2K, XP) prior to installing the SMP client can also result in this error.

Waiting before retry.

If a server with SMP WU's is not available or is overloaded, the client will be assigned to 0.0.0.0, which tells the client to wait and try again. This is intended to keep the SMP clients crunching SMP WU's. It is a temporary fix until port 80 connections and a backup work server are made available.) An example of the information in your log:
- Connecting to assignment server
Connecting to http: //assign.stanford.edu:8080/
Initial: 0000; - Successful: assigned to (0.0.0.0).
+ News From Folding@Home: Welcome to Folding@Home
Work Unit has an invalid address.
If you are assigned to 0.0.0.0, there's nothing you can do except to wait for the guys at Stanford to fix the problem.
