I think I might have fond out my problem.

When I went to check on my stats from the CPU client I got the can not connect error in Firefox. So I opened up a Command Prompt and tried a nslookup of stanford.edu. The came back with an error. So that told me that somehow my DNS settings on my server got all flubbed up. After taking out the DNS role on my server and changing my TCP/IP settings on my actual computer, which was haing the problems, to obtain the DNS address automatically, my GPU quickly pulled a new work unit to download.

MY SMP was near completion so I kept my eye on that to see what would happen. Once it completed and sent the completed unit it pulled a new work unit right away as well.

As of right now i have my CPU, GPU and SMP client all up and running. It's been a long time since that has ever happened.

I'll check the logs once again tomorrow before I head off to work and then again once I get back home. If everything seems to be working ok I'll let you all know.

Now I guess it's back to the drawing board and check some Event Viewer files tomorrow night to find out what happened to my DNS settings.

*Crossing fingers everything works*

Thanks for the help guys. I was almost out of hair.

That seemed to have been my problem.

After going back through my logs last night, all three of my clients seem to be working just fine.

Event Viewers didn't show anything out of the ordinary. So I'm not real sure what happened and how my DNS settings got changed.

Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions. It was greatly appreciated.
