I didn't imply that you INTENTIONALLY left anything out -- just that it's more difficult to figure out what's going on. In fact, we may have uncovered another problem that wasn't obvious from your first post, which is why I suggested that something seemed wrong. If you have 12 different machines, are they all folding with the same UserName? Have they all produced at least one WU within the past 50 days? Notice that
your stats indicate that you have four machines, only one of which has produced a WU within the past week.
You'll also notice that the first line of the log says
Some of the machines are multi-cpu or multi-core which is why the clients would have different IDs.
Code: Select all
[05:49:45] - User ID not found locally
[05:49:45] + Requesting User ID from server
which means that FAH has never been run on that machine before, and no actual progress is made before the log ends. Is that typical of your other GUI machines?
The log from your console machine also seems to say that no permanent files were found even though FAH had been run previously.
Code: Select all
[05:40:12] Configuring Folding@Home...

Maybe I'm assuming too much, but I though perhaps you had been running FAH for some time on these machines. If all of your installations are new, then you can ignore all of my previous concerns.
Now back to the question you actually asked. Clearly this machine cannot connect to the internet to get work, as you said. What's strange is that this machine has previously connected to the internet because it already has a value assigned for User ID: 4FA5F559326A047F stored in the registry but that's because you got the GUI client running on that machine.
On this machine, can you open the following with your browser?
http://assign.stanford.edu:8080
http://assign2.stanford.edu
http://www.stanford.edu
Does your router block connections from certain ports?
Is this machine behind a proxy, too?
Are both clients running as the same Windows User?
Does your proxy or firewall require you to give it a password to connect?
What kind of security software is on that machine?
Assuming that some of these 12 machines are just getting FAH installed for the first time, what happens if you run the Console client without installing the GUI client?
I do notice that you started the Console client twice with MachineID=1 and apparently you didn't get a message about a conflict. Then it somehow gets switched to MachineID=6 without any apparent reconfiguration step. Did you remove that information from FAHlog.txt?
As a general rule, I do not recommend installation the Console client as a service until you know it's running correctly. That question really should be under the "Advanced" section of the initial configuration.
