[Spider84]

Hello

I cannot start foldin becausse I am getting the following error:
11:00:35:WU00:FS00:Connecting to assign3.stanford.edu:8080
11:00:36:WU00:FS00:News: Welcome to Folding@Home

Can I do someething with this in MacOS x 10.6?

Thanks.

Please post the beginning section of your log that contains version and system information as well as the folding configuration. This might be just a temporary lack of work, or a misconfiguration of the folding client. There is not enough information from that short section of log to determine what is going on.

Folding is supported on OSX v10.6 and above, on 64 bit, on Core 2 Duos and above. As Joe said, we need more info. Thanks.

I've got no Mac experience, but I'll hazard a guess that you'll have to edit the CPU slot to explicitly use both CPU cores in order to get work. Or move the folding power slider to full.

[7im]

Good guess.

[Joe_H]

In the past there were some projects with core A4 work available for Mac's folding with one core or two, specifically Projects 6338 - 6341. Only 6338 is still listed as active on the Project Summary page, so these might be in short supply for single-core requests. Moving the slider to Full or changing the slot configuration to 2 cores should open up more assignment possibilities. My Core 2 Duo MacBook does regularly get assignments, but I have left its CPU setting at 2 for a while and have not been seeing if it would get single core assignments.

Thanks, it helps.
