Title: Problems With Folding At Work
Post by: Aegis on May 18, 2009, 09:03:05 PM

I've been trying to run either version of the FAH client on my computer at work.  I can download the version of choice, and install it, but I get errors when the client tries to download a work unit. 

I'd "chalk it up" to the firewall software at work, except for one thing:

I keep the console client on my flash drive, and if I bring a partially worked unit to the work computer, and activate it, it will finish the unit, and download another work unit, and continue on like it's no problem.

I can't seem to start a new unit on my work computer, even if it's from the flash drive. 

It doesn't make much sense.

Anyone have a similar experience?

What's the error it throws when the client tries to grab a unit?

Doggone it!  I knew you were going to ask that!! 
I didn't write it down.  I will find out, though.

Thank you!

This is for the console client software.

- Error: HTTP GET returned error code 0
+ Error:  Could not download core.
+ Core download error (#7), waiting for retry...

(The number in the last line increments with each attempt.)

The following is for the system tray version of the client software.

I've not seen this before, but some quick Googling says the solution might be to adjust the option for "Use IE Settings".
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I'll post again if I find another fix.

I didn't think to search the 'net.  I'll have to look around.  Thank you for looking at this.
