Work Server 0.0.0.0

[RLHay]

I completed a work unit (SMP:4) around 2.5 hours ago and have been assigned work and collection servers 0.0.0.0

It's a long time since I have had a machine sit idle. Does anyone know if there is a problem or shortage of appropriate WU's?

[bruce]

Being assigned to server 0.0.0.0 instead of a WU means several things. Posting your log would add some important details about what's actually happening, but I'll start by suggesting that you need to update your client. V7 would be good the absolute minimum would be V6.34. A lot of projects won't run on clients older than that.

Specific servers might be having temporary shortages of some projects but I'm not aware of any permanent restrictions other than from having an older client. There was a temporary outage and I'm not sure how long it was.

Thanks for the reply Bruce.
I now have four machines affected. All are running v7 (7.1.52 & 7.1.48). Two are XP machines and 2 are Win7. One of these machines runs both SMP and GPU units. The GPU is still getting new units. My 5th machine (an iMac at a different location) is also still happily plugging away.

Here is a representative chunk from my day to day work machine. It does not show the previous WU upload because I took advantage of the outage to run some updates and reboot. Next week (I'm away for a few days) if this is still ongoing I can get logs from other machines.

When you cannot connect to assign3.stanford.edu or assign4.stanford.edu that problem must be fixed first. I can currently connect to one of them through by browser in the form http://assign3.stanford.edu:8080 or http://assign3.stanford.edu:80 but not to http://assign4.stanford.edu. I'll notify the Pande Group about the fact that the latter server has been down since 18:20:00 PDT last evening.

Most people can get their assignments through http://assign3.stanford.edu but it may be blocked by your security hardware or software, so testing in in your browser is the first step to seeing if you have a local problem that can be fixed.

Bruce, just letting you know that all the machines appear to be receiving and returning work units again without any intervention at my end (I've been away for a few days). So, thanks for your help but I'm pretty certain whatever the issue and solution was it was at PG's end.
