I have now uninstalled avg. I can see no other way to disable it. I have switched windows firewall back on. I uninstalled s&d earlier. I have disabled peerguardian The only security now operating is windows firewall plus anything else windows has built in. I don't know how long till I can be sur...

Lists is ip addresses and paths is to folders.

I have now added all the ip addresses from the Server Status page linked at the top, but resident shield is still disabled. Do you want me to re-enable it?

Thanks 7im I have disabled resident shield but no joy so far. i had already allowed the url's bruce listed in resident shield exceptions but have now added the f@h folder. Resident shield excepts paths or lists, not programmes. I have allowed f@h in the pup exceptions for the scanners. I can't see a...

Well the only thing left to try is to uninstall my av. Is there anything else windows could be doing to block? If i take my av out i have no protection in place at all apart from anything windows has built in. Is it possible that the client hasn't realised i've reconfigured so that I'm no longer rou...

Thanks for the response. Please let me know if any other information would be useful. I am really running out ot ideas here. I don't want to have to abandon the project though. This is the start of the log file. NB the proxy cited at the start is no longer in the set up --- Opening Log file [April 2...

I have now turned off my windows firewall and uninstalled my spybot search and destroy. I have f@h and the url’s bruce listed allowed in my internet options security and privacy tabs. I have allowed folding@home.exe in my avg pup exception list. Is there any other file extension I need to allow ther...

Sometimes it MAY BE a problem with the servers. The recommended answer is to configure your IP blocker to enable the client to contact and IP on the internet any time it wants to, just like your browser is configured. I have in fact disabled the ip blocker altogether so it should no longer be an is...

I'm not suggesting the problem is with the servers. I just want to know how to get the client to work. Here is a recent segment from the log file [23:40:20] + Attempting to get work packet [23:40:20] - Connecting to assignment server [23:40:20] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server [23:40:20] + Cou...

Unfortunately the success was shortlived. I completed a work packet but the software was not able to return it to you. Then when I rebooted I lost the log file to date and presumably the completed work packet too. Should that have happened. I am now operating without the proxy and without the ip blo...

Thanks for your quick responses. Here is a portion of the log file. Clearly a problem with the http request. I'll see if I can do anything with this. Any further advice appreciated. @ bruce what I need to allow those http's are the starting and ending ip's. I'll start with those three if you can let...

Hi, I'm new to folding. I have downloaded the client successfully, about 24 hours ago now but have received no work packets. :( When I hover over the tray icon it says "attempting to get work packet". I suspect one of my security systems is blocking the packet. I have allowed Stanford Univ...
