No, it just fustrates me when, my internect connection is bumped during the night when I`m sleeping. The WU is saved in queue, so I don`t lose it but, It can`t download another WU. So, I lose folding time until I wakeup and reconnect to the internet. I was just wondering if there was a program that would lessen the chance of it being bumped off the internet.

that sucks man. do you know...is it because of inactivity on your end? or is it because of being bumped off at the isp level?

I believe its at the ISP level, I have been thinking of changing ISP`s and see if I can get one thats better then SBC/Yahoo. I have given up talking to their technical people who know a lot less then me and I practically know nothing. :(

yeah...sounds like the best idea is going to be switching ISPs. and it is always sad having to try and talk to those guys when they really don't know much of anything. good luck on finding a better ISP!

I posted this in the Networking section, but have not had much help with my problem there, I have had my secound computer up and running and connected to my main rig and I can not get internet sharing to work. So if anyone can think of anything else I can try to get it going check out my thread in networking. I hate to see it just setting there and not folding anything.:(

Hey lonewolfroger go here and you will find about 4 tools to keep you online using dial up. I've never had to use any of them but seems as though they are worth a shot.

Thanks, I will try them out, I was bumped off the internet again this morning, but it happened at a time it did not affect my folding.

i get this error message at the bottom of the screen saver in the log:

Error: Could not transmit unit 07 (completed November 24). Keeping unit in queue.

and this one in the lower left hand corner:

could not connect to work server (results)

i have allowed internet access for winfah.scr, fahcore_65.exe and fahcore_78.exe

i have even tried disabling the firewall and it still gives me the message. what's wrong?

As long as its in Queue, you have not lost it, sometimes the server you are sending it to is down. I would click on the shortcut to see if it will send in the results and after you get the results sent in, I would go too program files, F@H and delete the fahcore_65.exe core.

You did make a shortcut to the desktop for the 3.25 beta or the 4.0 beta, which ever one you are using and then by right clicking on the shortcut, you added the -advmethods and -forceasm tags for the 3.35 beta and the -forceSSE for the 4.0 beta.(instead of -forceasm). BTW, what I mean by click on the shortcut was that usually when F@H has stopped trying to connect to their server, I quit the program and restart it by clicking on my shortcut, so that it will try again to send in the results.

Go to the F@H FAQ thread above and check out how to set up your AMD system, if you have it set up this way already then fold on.
