Must have taken a minute as mine is working just fine. I was able to return all of my completed ones but it said there are no new tasks to download, which is not surprising as EVERYONE now wants units!

Getting the http file not found error as well.
After hitting update enough times, it downloaded the new master file and I got the your app_info does not have nbody.

OK -- what has worked for me is a detach and rejoin at the workstation. This means any previously completed but not reported work (as none of us knew exactly when the server changeover was going to happen) is lost, but new work is available and the http failure is resolved.
I don't know the specifics of why that works and a reset doesn't work, but I'm sure some of the other users can speculate on this and perhaps let the folks at RPI know.

Maybe the new server is at a new ip address, and dns is taking its time.

Did the detatch / attach and my gpu's are warming the room now.

Could well be the case (I wonder if that is something that could have been avoided - possibly not).
The good news here with the 'detatch' approach, here is a case where the hyper short caches for GPU's actually mitigates. Even those with completed GPU work lose less than an hour of processed results. For my 4850's it is about an hour (though for most of them I suspended processing before the 12 units were completed).
Maybe the new server is at a new ip address, and dns is taking its time.

Hi.
Had the same problem: clicked on "Do network communications". The HTTP error message went away and all completed tasks were sent.
Also new tasks received, completed and sent.

Updated a few times and reset. Still get Http error. I'll give it a little before I detach/reattach. It also wouldn't upload the one completed wu I had, but when I checked under my account it was listed and credited, yet it remained in Boinc until I reset MW.

The HTTP error is somehow related to DNS changing and should go away if you restart BOINC.

Anyhow I have tasks now. Took about 10 minutes.

I know my preferences are not set to accept CPU units... I have tried tinkering with the preferences and I've reset the project twice and detached/reattached, but can't get GPU work. Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's some sort of bug that hasn't been worked out?
I don't know if it matters, but it's work for an NVIDIA GPU.

What it is telling you is that it only has Nbody work currently. It is nothing on your end.

Thanks for the reply, have they just put that back up first then and no separation WUs? Any word on when? Sorry to bombard with questions, I'm just curious, though it killed the cat I know...
EDIT: Ugh something weird must be going on because my other machine with an AMD GPU just got a bunch of separation WUs, I guess I will have to be patient but it's making me crazy.

What are the chances that the system could be adjusted so that the users can have more tasks "in the bank" to carry them through periods of downtime? Currently, the most that MW will allow me to have is 6 tasks at any one time, and with the Plum tasks, I was burning through those in seconds

The "not to accept cpu units" message is a 'status message' informing you of your choice that is all. Dr. Anderson of Seti, and the main programmer of Boinc, says the message is important to newbies and therefore stays. Just ignore it.

Yes, I gather it would be useful if you had no idea what you're doing, but I have to admit seeing it over and over again after being told there isn't any work available is frustrating.... My AMD card has been crunching all night and Milkyway will just NOT give this machine units. I don't know what the matter is with it, but I will give it a bit more time and see if maybe it comes around. The only other thing I can think of trying is reinstalling BOINC, and doubt that will even do any good.

I still have a handful of workstations with completed tasks that won't get reported. The error message is:
1/7/2012 9:36:01 AM | Milkyway@home | Reporting 8 completed tasks, not requesting new tasks
1/7/2012 9:36:04 AM | Milkyway@home | Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found
I know that I can get these workstations running with MW by detaching and rejoining, but that will toss away completed results. If I had known exactly when the transition was to start, I could have suspended MW right then -- positioning for a no work loss detach (I have several workstations I have done that with and they are running 'new MW' just fine).
So the (simple I hope) question is, is there anything I can do short of detaching which will work for this handful of workstations? If not, I'll simply sign and toss out the baby with the bathwater by detaching and giving up about 25 work units. Currently those workstations are doing Collatz or Moo without any problems.

Just keep hitting update until it downloads the master file. It should work fine after that.

Do you need a multithreading CPU to get work, or have I got the preferences set wrong for that computer?

OK -- got the three remaining laggards working -- for the Vista box, I did a power down, then boot to safe mode, then restart. Once the client got started MW was working again.
For the Win 7 boxes, a bit simpler, shut down BOINC, command prompt, the IPCONFIG /flushdns then IPCONFIG/Release then IPCONFIG/Renew. Then restarted BOINC.
Thanks,
