I've just installed the F@H Console on my AMD 64 Athlon PC (using the excellent Sartup guide), but I don't seem to be able to get work at the moment. Above is the start of my log file.

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the team

- Just wait I think the server is busy.
Rich or one of the other will be along in a minute to check.

SiriusB · 20 Apr 2007 at 18:05

Server you are trying to connect to is full according to Stanford's stats.

Pilgrim57 · 20 Apr 2007 at 18:08

Welcome to team 10.
I agree with Shadow - the server is busy. If by attempt 8 or 10 still no work try restarting client as you might be assigned a different server.

Have you installed FahMonitor?
Let us know how you get on.

Full on this page means - full operation :rolleyes:

come on SB get with the programme

- it is busy though - a value of 65 in the NETLOAD column means its working hard

Oh I'm sorry. You'd think someone who masterminded the largest DC project going would manage to put "OK" in the Status field

ms9cw · 20 Apr 2007 at 19:38

Might have a bit of a wait for my first F@H stats. ETA on the 1st WU is 1 day and 9 hours.

Still, my laptops are BOINC-ing along nicely:

Onwards & upwards! Plenty of stompage pending.
Ditch Seti & concentrate the effort on folding for Team 10

First WU (3040) completed for 186 points. Now munching my way through a 2416. Looking forward to appearing in my first F@H Weekly Team News.
