Well, if you're not interested enough to assign the work, then I think it's time for me to move on.

Welcome to foldingforum.org, hare.

I see nothing in your log referencing 171.67.108.52:8080 so why did you choose that title?

You are contacting the Assignment Server and it's not finding ANY server that has work for your client right now. (Yes, there are a number of servers down right now and that happens to be one of them.) Without some information about which hardware you have and which client you're running it's really hard to guess what type of assignment your client was looking for. Even though you're frustrated, we need more information to be able to help you.

I am also having this problem. My client has been failing to get work for about 36 hours now.
This title is the server connection which is shown on my fahlog file for the last 3 or 4 server connections and is shown on the server list as being down. Is there a way to get it to try another connection or work server?
I'm running client v6 under windows XP SP3, on an old socket A Athlon (single core) CPU with 2Gb of RAM if that helps. If I can provide any other relevant details please let me know.

Thanks
