[joekienzle]

Hello,

I recently installed fah again and set it up sucessfully in the past, but now I am getting this log:

Firewall is not blocking. I do not get what I am doing wrong. Any advice?

If you are trying to fold with 2 CPUs I think the minimum is 3 CPUs these days

[joekienzle]

Thanks for the reply. I tried with 4 cpus and got the same result sadly

Mmm based on a quick internet search it would appear this Celeron N5105 laptop CPU would not support AVX instructions that are required for recent cores, and is limited to SSE 4.2

This looks similar to this thread for me:
viewtopic.php?p=370319&hilit=Sse+4.2#p370319

If one of the mods could confirm?
