I have been getting very little folding work lately which the following log file explains:
Is the server operating properly? I can upload results but the server is not issuing me work units consistently. Is it overworked?
I'm not sure that things have changed at this end.
Anyone got any ideas?

That server is currently distributing 69% of the GPU assignments, so there's apparently nothing wrong with it.
Has anything changed with your firewall or is there something else on your end that might have something to do with this? Temporarily disable your security software and see if anything changes. (Don't use any other web-oriented activities while the security software is disabled.)
Are you running another client (e.g.-the uniprocessor client) on the same machine? Is it able to get new WUs?
There are no other processors running on this PC.
The router is allowing traffic from another PC using GPU client as well as a PS3.
The last two work units were downloaded after many attempts but from other servers. See Log file excerpts that follow:
As you will see 171.67.108.11 is not working from my location, but other servers are. Don't know why 171.64.122.70 & 171.64.65.20 are working but 171.67.108.11 isn't.
McAfee Firewall was set to outbound traffic only for folding client. This has been changed to full access. We'll see what happens next time it goes to download a WU.

When I put the IP 171.67.108.11 into my web browser it returns an error.
This is not a unique problem to my site as I asked a friend on the other side of Sydney to do the same and he has the same response.
It would appear that this server is not accepting or returning http requests, at least from Australia (at this time).
The other two servers I mentioned in my previous post return an "OK".
Is there a reason port 8080 is blocked on that machine?
I'll see if I can get somebody to re-enable port 80, but port 8080 is always the first one the client tries so you'll get better access to the servers if you can use port 8080.
Thanks. I've successfully port triggered port 8080 in my router. I now get "OK" in my browser when 171.67.108.11:8080 is entered. I'll see what happens with folding later today when it makes another attempt to download a WU.
