Hey been a client for team 45 Arliene 21 for some years rank 37. Also am contributing to seti on 12 cpus.Well here is the problem. I have 13 servers with W2K SP4 not receiving work. This happened several months ago. And got some work and it went down again after that maybe round July 17 or so. My question is the 503 support for the clients not supported anymore or server down.If I lived close by would volunteer my services to fix. I did try the older 400exe same result.To bad the later newer exes for windows will not support W2k SP4. My friends call me Andy CIO

Support for v5.03 has not been ended, but they did say that WU shortages would probably be more frequent that for newer clients.

It really helps when you post FAHlog so we can see what's going on.

I'm not sure which servers have work for 5.03, but I'm going to make some semi-educated guesses based on what serverstat says.

171.64.122.84 is functioning and has work. Whether it's for Windows v503 or not is difficult to determine.
ditto for 129.74.85.15 and 171.64.65.62
143.89.28.70 probably has work, but there are a couple of reports of problems connecting.
171.64.122.84 has a red indicator in the 80 column.

Are you being assigned to any of these servers?

Please see this thread : viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10453

I don't want to get your hopes up, and it's probably WAY too early to mention this, but since the v7 client that is currently in development is being newly written from the ground up, it may not have the same problems running on Windows 2000 that the current v6 client has.

Sorry I did not post fah log I will try.
