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 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.
 
Thanks for the feedback! :)

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 :D

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

Crunching my first WU.

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. :)
