All of a sudden, out of the blue my SETI@home project won't connect to your servers nor will it download any new tasks. I have 13 tasks waiting to be uploaded. I started SETI@home on 9/20/15 and have had no problems up until now.
I joined Milkyway@home to run in the meantime and it has no problem uploading completed tasks or getting new ones. They are the only 2 projects that I am running. I did a cold boot (turning off the computer and then powering it back on) incase something was causing problems with Windows or BOINC manager.

My setup here is:

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor [Family 16, Model 5, Stepping 2]
(It looks like almost all of the CPUs running SETI software are Intel. Very few AMDs)
Windows 7 Home Premium (version 6.1) x64 Edition Service Pack 1 (06.01.7601.00)
BOINC 7.6.9
SETI@home V7 7.00 windows_intelx86.
Computer ID: 7770980
TThrottle v7.5.2 (I was having overheating problems so I installed this)

This is a really hard problem to characterize, and thus it's hard to help campus solve, but it looks like there is a router (on campus and out of our control) acting funny. Or it may be an internal problem that is difficult to track down (as this weirdness is affecting random machines at random times in random ways).

We shall see.. Sorry for all the confusing lack of connectivity. :(

So there is nothing you can do about it, it's something that has to be fixed on campus.

Got the same issue here - not had new work units for a couple of days or so - logs say my internet is ok (as my posting here proves ;)) so I guess I will just have to wait.

The problem persists, and as many of you already know there's a router on campus at the root of said problem. This is very similar to problems with had with our PAIX router where the solution was a memory upgrade.

Campus is aware of the issues. It's out of our control.
