Issues getting work units
Is anyone else having problems getting WU's to work on this morning? 4 of my 6 computers at home completed WU's during the night, successfully sent in the results, but cannot get work units to work on right now. This has been going on for about 3 hours.
I can't troubleshoot very well right now, as I'm at work and these are at my home, but regular internet access seems to be fine (I can get to my query page, send/receive email remotely, etc).

I saw that the stats server was down, but it doesn't look like their assignment servers are reporting problems...and I don't see tons of posts complaining on the Stanford forums or at [H]. Hmmm maybe it's on my end, or an issue with my ISP's routing.
Just seems like if I can get to the servers to upload completed work, I should be able to get to the ones to download new WU's as well.
Just drives a dedicated folder like me insane to see boxen sitting around doing nothing while waiting for work units! This is what I'm seeing in my logs:

And those last few lines repeat over and over. Very odd.

Well, got home, and all my boxen were stuck waiting for WU's. Network and internet access seemed fine. I rebooted my router and DSL modem, and they still couldn't get WU's.
Then I shut down the client on one box and restarted the client. It got a WU just fine.
Did it on the rest, and they did as well.
Very odd! But folding again. And the parts for two more boxes showed up, they'll be joining the "fold" once I get them built up.

Hrrm, lemme check my two log files.
Main system grabbed a new work unit Tuesday morning, 9:30am GMT. No problem getting or folding since. Previous two WU completed no problem. (new install, only 2 WU on this setup)
Second system got a new work unit Tuesday evening, 11pm GMT. Previous three WU in the log show no problems either.
Both systems are using the 3.25-beta Console client with -advmethods and -forceasm.

Yep, if it had happened on only one client, I'd write it off as some bug with it or the system... but 4 different boxes all at the same time? Even different OS's.
And during this time another system at another location completed a WU and got a new one just fine, so it isn't my standard configuration.
The only thing I can think of is that I DID have a network issue of some type that persisted long enough for all the clients to get hosed up. The network issue got cleared up, but the clients stayed hosed until stopped/restarted.
