My F@H Doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Post by TheTitan »

I just installed F@H, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I am on a mac. I click fold on the control panel but it doesn't do anything. Can somebody please help me?

Welcome to the folding support forum.

Some of the default settings may keep your system from getting assignments, it depends on what your system is and the version of the client. If you could post the first 100 or so lines of your log file that would help. Directions on how to locate and post the log are available here - viewtopic.php?p=261084&f=24#p261084.

00:53:28:WARNING:WU00:FS00:Exception: Could not get IP address for assign3.stanford.edu: nodename nor servname
This message indicates that the client s not getting a DNS lookup response for the address of the assignment servers. You may need to reset your router, enable access through a firewall for the FAHClient process, or make other settings on your system. Without being able to determine the IP address of the servers, the client will not work.

Can you open this address in a web browse - http://assign3.stanford.edu?
