Client: local Connecting Inactive

Post by jrdk123 »

Hey FAH@home forum! So starting at about last night, the client could not connect and I cannot fold.
I am on a private wireless network and have online access. Local host: 127.0.0.1 port 36330. The entire page of FAH control under the status tab is grayed out, and I can only press the 5 buttons on the top left side of FAH Control. I also have Malwarebytes. Could that program be responsible for blocking FAH from running? Any ideas as to what could be causing FAH from not running?
Thanks guys!

With the new 7.3.6 client there should be a link in your startup folder called Folding@Home. This is different than previous 7.x versions that used FAHControl to startup folding. If it isn't there, you should be able to copy & paste it from the FAHClient folder. FAHControl, as it is now, only monitors and if you feel comfortable with it then there is no need to remove it.

FAHClient is a background process that must be running for folding to process anything. If it's not already running (normally hidden) or if the connection to it is blocked by a firewall, FAHControl (or WebControl) will not be able to determine what's going on.
