It seems to be , but can't see why not start a post on your particular problem if you have one

JohnthePilot · 10-28-2007, 11:43 AM

I'd already posted in the Poll thread, which is where problems were being discussed, but it seems to have shifted here. No point in starting a new thread, as most of our problems are common.

**kodi** · 10-28-2007, 04:36 PM

Don't think it matters really as we all read both

JohnthePilot · 10-28-2007, 04:38 PM

LOL I've been credited with another 10 WUs today.

**kodi** · 10-28-2007, 04:47 PM

John, I just had a senior moment and posted a reply to your query in the other thread , I should have just posted here when i was replying to your post

JohnthePilot · 10-28-2007, 04:52 PM

That's no problem as I check both threads.

**grumpygit** · 11-02-2007, 02:26 PM

hi,
just downloaded and started F@H but it keeps failing to get work packet. Any ideas?

**kodi** · 11-02-2007, 02:32 PM

Welcome to the team
Let it run for a while, this seems common (probably busy server) it will keep retrying till it gets WU

**koala** · 11-02-2007, 02:39 PM

Grumpygit, check your firewall to see if it's blocking Folding@Home.

Are you running any HOSTS-type programs or IP Blockers like PeerGuardian? (F@H IP range 171.64.122.87 to 171.64.122.144)

**grumpygit** · 11-02-2007, 02:52 PM

koala, firewall is set to allow folding@home.
i am using ie-spyad and mvps host.

**koala** · 11-02-2007, 02:57 PM

Check the HOSTS list for the IP range, or temporarily disable ie-spyad and mvps host while starting F@H to see if this allows it to connect.

**grumpygit** · 11-02-2007, 05:07 PM

Its connecting ok but it wont go past, Waiting for core:
(uninstalled iespyad and mvps, just in case)

It keeps attempting to get work package but fails.

I'll leave it running overnight and see what happens.

If you downloaded the beta zersion, it came in a zip file when i downloaded and that was not that long ago. I was being lazy and just ran the one file that was in there without extracting it and when it ran i had the problem you are saying. All i had to do was extract it and then run it and it works without a problem.

**grumpygit** · 11-03-2007, 12:37 AM

Been running all night and its still attempting to get a work package.

I downloaded the Graphical verion 5.03

**grumpygit** · 11-03-2007, 01:59 AM

uninstalled and reinstalled and now its working.
