Version 8.4.9 is working for me this morning. I installed version 8.5.7-1 yesterday after the failure with version 8.4.9. I was not able to get it to work. It would only show information for the client on the machine were it was running. All of the other machines in my home network were shown as no...

DNS issue is not related to your earlier problems. To sort out DNS stuff you probably need to play around with your DNS servers. You usually are allowed to enter 2 DNS servers in your connection settings in windows. I would advise you to try one of them from google and another from cloudflare. I bel...

I'm using Wi-Fi, no dropping packets since several random tests of 16 pings to "v8-5.foldingathome.org" didn't drop packets. and all firewall settings are remaining default.

Default software firewalls are evil.

I have not found the way to start the resource group folding. If I have the group already folding from my PC, app sees it and allows me to control it, but if I do not have a resource group running, it does not show up at all in the app You do not see any machine name in orange or in white for exemp...

We need more info. What type of connection you are using, and are 100% certain you are not dropping packets. We are not aware of any server issues. Make sure you don't have some overly paranoid firewalls set up, or browser.
