	Hi, since the server-problem last week i can't fetch any workunits. An update to 6.2.15 don't fix this problem. I always receive the same message: Mi 20 Aug 2008 18:49:43 CEST\|SETI@home\|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 604800 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks Mi 20 Aug 2008 18:49:48 CEST\|SETI@home\|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks Mi 20 Aug 2008 18:49:48 CEST\|SETI@home\|Message from server: No work sent My settings are to connect every 3 days with additional 4 days of work. Changing this also don't help. Any ideas? ____________

	It looks like the server status page hasn't been updating in almost an hour. The messages below in your manager are confirming this.

	It looks like the server status page hasn't been updating in almost an hour. The messages below in your manager are confirming this. The problem is still active. A complete reinstall of BOINC (6.2.15) with all files doesn't solve the problem. There's only one way to get at least one WU. Detach from project followed by an attach to the project. But while this WU is calculating the 'No work available...' messages coming again. The whole trouble first appears after the big outage at the middle of august. BTW: I got another computer running BOINC (5.10.45 dualcore xeon) where everything works fine. ____________

	Have you different cache settings on the other system ? - BOINC only downloads enought WUs to fit your WU cache. - I have checked you both systems and one system has only one WU in progress.

	Have you different cache settings on the other system ? Yes, but the same settings at home changed nothing. BOINC only downloads enought WUs to fit your WU cache. I know. But even when i set the WU cache to maximum i only get one WU. When it finish calculating the server sends no further work and brings the 'no work available' message even if the statuspage shows more than 200k WUs available. I have checked you both systems and one system has only one WU in progress. That's my PC with the trouble. Hey, deny the server WUs for systems which are to slow? (like my P4 2.53 GHz) ;-)) ____________

Perhaps your time stats give a hint to your problem. Open client_state.xml with a text editor and search for <time_stats>. Then copy the lines between <time_stats> and </time_stats> here.

	... I hope it helps. MfG Matthias Sorry, nothing unusual about those numbers. I had suspected a very low on_frac, perhaps from setting the system clock to the future.
