After several week of fighting with an issue, I'm about to drop my laptop from Folding.

When it finishes a WU, it seems to be able to transmit the results back with no problem... but it sometimes sits for days trying to download a new WU to work on.

I've tried an uninsall and reinstall several times to no effect. I can ping the server that shows up in the log file, but it still refuses to download a new WU.

Any ideas??? or else I'll just pull it from this machine. Normal wireless access works fine, but for some reason, it now refuses to download new work.

I have three laptops folding for the cause, and none have any major issues. I do have one laptop (#130 on the charts) that is very sporadic about finishing WUs and reporting them, but I blame that on the user.

Are you folding GUI or service?

Same here, locks up after each WU and won't resume.
Plus, the lap top runs so hot, afraid of burning it out...

So, I'm off for a while.
