The CPU is getting assignment and folding correctly.
The GPU slot could not get an assignment.
Is it just me having problem with these servers?
Thank you.

The "received short response" message usually indicates a problem in the network connection between your system and the servers pf the PG. Either some packets are not getting through or are being blocked at some point.
But, in this case the message may not be important. The "empty work server" message is indicating that no WS could be found by the two assignment servers, 171.67.108.45 and 171.67.108.204, that had work appropriate for your system configuration.
Providing the first 100 or so lines of your log file will provide that information. We need the system configuration and client configuration to see what you have for a GPU and how the client is setup.

Your GPU is an older, pre-Fermi model that is only partly supported for folding now. The projects originally set up to run on those cards ran out about a year and a half ago. Some pre-Fermi cards can successfully process a few projects using a later GPU folding core, Core_15. These Core_15 projects have been announced to be approaching end of life, and no new projects will be using this core.
If you want to try processing these Core_15 projects while they are still available, you will need to opt-in to do so. Two options will need to be added to the GPU slot, max-packet-size set to small and client-type set to beta. These projects are not beta, that flag is just being used in conjunction with the size flag to indicate you want to process Core_15 WU's on your system.
Your other option is deleting the GPU folding slot and using just the CPU cores for folding.
