Client banned after as a result of 7.3.6 troubleshooting.

Using warp9pnt9, it connects to the assignment servers and sends me to an IP for a nonexistent server 171.64.122.137. If I use another name, I get a work unit. Unban this so I can process data. I reverted to 7.2.9 which worked flawlessly for me. My work units got corrupted in the process and have all been deleted.

Post your log showing the system and configuration information and the messages showing the client attempts to connect to servers and the results. Too little information to troubleshoot the problem. As for banning, I have not heard of that happening.

The servers do sometimes protect themselves from bad hardware that might draining them of WUs. Just how many WUs were discarded in our debugging effort when you use warp9pnt9? There's nothing wrong with reverting to V7.2.9 if it's working for you.

You might also consider switching from the WebControl application (which opens in your browser and which is designed for the utmost in simplicity) to the FAHControl user interface that's designed for experts -- provided that's your choice. It would be more like the interface you were using in V7.2.9.

Please post some of the logs showing the troubles you had. Every time you restart V7, it creates a backup of the previous log in a subdirectory of the FAH data directory listed by date and time.

Now it's downloading. Absolutely no changes on my end. The servers must have thought I was throttling too much. About 10 installs/uninstalls. About 8 discarded WUs. The first three were almost done too.

Before is when it kept getting assigned to nonexistent server as previously mentioned. There was nothing wrong with my config, as I said, and no other information to be gained, as I said. Now I get a proper server IP and will just go back to silently crunching numbers. And avoid updates at all costs.

The only thing now is that all the "About Project" pages give a 500 Internal Server Error, which I thought meant the client had become outdated, or a change made on server.

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/fah ... ned?p=8082 works fine in a browser, but withion the FAHControl, gets

<p>The server encountered an internal error or

As I said, works fine in my browser. Same error in FAHControl for all projects.

I do not know if these messages are cached, but I assume they are. So I may have to wait until some WUs finish and new ones are ready to download, and run a tcpdump (WireShark) to show all client communication.

If the Server is 129.74.85.15, then it is a known issue and you can read about it here -> viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23599
