So I just move to my college dorm and I'm on wired internet. However, I can't connect to Fold. Should I reinstall or something?

Desktop: Intel i5-3570K (stock) | Asus Sabertooth Z77 | G.Skill RipJaw 16GB 1600MHz | Samsung 840 120GB | EVGA GTX 680 SC+ 2GB | Fractal Design R4 | Windows 8 Pro (soon to have dual boot Mac OS X)

Retina Macbook Pro : Intel i7-3840QM | 16GB 1600 MHz | 256GB SSD | Nvidia GT 650M 1GB | Mac OS X 10.8.5

Does your college allow Torrent? Most app filters detect the Folding download as a Torrent and so block it. Can you ping things and surf? Then most likely that. Unfortunately, they would have to whitelist all the servers here:

Or, maybe contact the local IT - let them know what is going on - maybe they can make an exception for you on the firewall.

Sound more like to me the classic "port 80 and/or 8080 is block" issue to me.

 

Click on both of these links below and see if you can get a web page to come up saying "ok"

 

http://assign.stanford.edu/    Port 80

 

 

http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/    Port 8080

 

 

If either 1 of these web pages (or both) doesn't show "Ok", then you'll have problems attempting to connect to F@H servers.
