All fah programs = fahclient.exe, fahwrapper.exe, fahcontrol.exe, fahviewer.exe, fahcores... (although fahclient should be the only one needed to whitelist)
If bollix47's suggestion does work, we need to look in to what is being whitelisted and how. By file, by process, and/or by protocol (IP), etc.

I am not happy with the idea of completely uninstalling ZoneAlarm even for a test without some concrete reason as to why ZA is the culprit.
When ZoneAlarm is stopped, it's stopped. I looked at the processes and services lists in Task Manager, not just the application list.
If the firewall was the problem why would it work some of the time and not others. At boot up ZoneAlarm blocks all internet access until it is fully installed. Since I ALWAYS get a new WU after a reboot, I think we can rule out ZoneAlarm
MSE is NOT running. I know better than that. I have been playing around with these little beasties for 31 years now.
Here is an odd occurrence in the log file that just happened. It looks like I was given a bad WU.

Basically it comes down to this. If the client was the problem, we would have 100s of reports of this problem. If the servers were the problem, we would have 1000s of reports of this problem. So far, in running v7 for a year, we have 1 report of this issue. This points to a localized problem.
Clearly you are running fah on more than one PC. How many of the other PCs are using the V7 client and the ZA suite?

If you need reasons why, type zonealarm in the F@H search box at the top of every forum page and you will see pages of posts discussing ZA problems and some of those posters tried just disabling it but it wasn't until they uninstalled it that their problems went away.

Fundamentally, ZA is a very sophisticated firewall which is very good at blocking things, even when you don't want it to. It can identify FAHClient and prevent it from creating a connection to the internet. You can add an exception permitting FAHClient to make that connection, but if you then install a new version, it recognizes that FAHClient.exe is not the same copy of FAHClient.exe and you'll have to add a new exception. There may be other semi-related issues -- we're not experts in firewall functionality.
You don't have to turn off ZA, but you will have to deal with a period of re-validation of what it's blocking and decide if it's doing what you want it to do. There's a setting in ZA which will open a popup every time something is blocked. It is undoubtedly turned off or you'd be spending a lot of time answering questions about whether you want to permit or block various things. Turn that setting on. When FAH attempts to get a new WU but fails, was there a ZA popup and if so, what did you answer?

If you are indeed having another PC folding which isn't encountering this issue, then please identify all the differences between the two set-ups. It would help us narrow down the list and hopefully, determine the root cause and fix it permanently.

All three PC are running licensed copies of ZoneAlarm and F@HClient 7.3.6.
The wife's computer has an NVIDIA Graphics card and a 4 core CPU.
The third one is an old machine that only folds on a 2 core CPU and does nothing else.
So far I have been getting WUs normally for the past 24 hours with no recent changes to my system other than a Windows update yesterday morning.
Happy Thanksgiving y'all. Thanksgiving is a real family story for us. I had 7 ancestors on the Mayflower. Since I am now the oldest, I get to tell the story each year.

After a WU has been folding for hours, the system is at it's warmest...
I know one or two things that are different after a reboot. The PC is cooler, and all the memory has been flushed. There may be a stability issue with this computer causing data corruptions, possibly caused by heat. Or there may be a loose connection. It's time to open the PC and check for loose cables, loose memory chips, etc. Then clean it out, and run a memtest session on it. And check the CPU/system temps.

7im,
How you flushed memory on my computer affect whether or not the server 3000 miles away issues a WU
My computer is brand new as of 9/7/2013. It has four cooling fans and additional cooling for the GPU. Even at 100% usage, none of my CPU cores exceed 61C. My GPU does not exceed 74C under full load.
I have no other computer usage issues outside of the timely receipt of WUs and third parties trying to install tool bars and redirect my browser homepage every time I install something.
I built my first PC in 1982 and have been dealing with them ever since. I keep my PCs clean and well off the floor to reduce dust and airflow issues. Cards, cables, etc. stay screwed down where appropriate. It can be a pain at cleaning time but I don't get loose connections.

We don't need any arguments about who is right and who is wrong. You two have different opinions and we don't need to know about them.
