Work Unit has invalid address [0.0.0.0]

Post by v00d00 »

Can anyone help with this. Its popping up in my log at this point on 3 of my 4 clients (and they arent getting work). It happened the other day when i posted about an assign to 0.0.0.0 problem.

Code: Select all

[15:45:29] + Attempting to get work packet
[15:45:29] - Connecting to assignment server
[15:45:29] Connecting to http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/
[15:45:30] Posted data.
[15:45:30] Initial: 0000; - Successful: assigned to (0.0.0.0).
[15:45:30] + News From Folding@Home: Welcome to Folding@Home
[15:45:30] Work Unit has an invalid address.
[15:45:30] - Error: Attempt #26  to get work failed, and no other work to do.
             Waiting before retry.
It seems to affect all clients on all machines, so not limited to this machine.

Browsing http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/ comes back ok.

A traceroute if anyone is interested.

Code: Select all

Please post your client type, client settings, OS, and CPU info. Stanford may have run out of WUs for your specific setup. If so, Stanford can use that info to add more work.

It was happing to me as well on one of my Linux consoles. I merely tweaked the config temporarily to fetch projects without deadlines and she immediately found a nice 3906 Double Gromacs B Kasson special worth 310p. :D

That's odd. Normally, you don't get any WUs when you set the client to request WUs with no deadlines. Are you sure that is the setting you changed? Or did you mean "no preference" instead?

Request work units without deadlines (no/yes) [yes]?

I said 'yes' instead of the default 'no' - this was the only change I made and it went off and had a 3906 assigned immediately.

PS There are a whole mess of new WU's in the pipeline. We're doing QA on them, but our hope is that this new project will solve this issue for good. It's more than 1M WU's and will be split on two servers. The size of that project should take care of this issue for quite a while.

Understatement of the year there. the phrase "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut" comes to mind :P Are these standard WUs or the Big variety? (I'd guess standard but I'll ask anyway)

We'd like to eliminate this problem as it's a nasty one for donors. 1M WU's is a lot, but I want to leave enough room that this is something we can all stop worrying about. The new project is pretty cool. It's designed to sit on the back burner soaking up excess clients (from the other ongoing projects) and in a year produce some really neat results (if all goes on right).
