Have you checked your firewall settings are not blocking the fahcontrol or fahclient?

Have you checked the fahclient is running? It may have failed to start. Anyhow since I don't see any information about the operating system you are using I will leave it here.

Please refer to this for both the troubleshooting information and also how to go about including some information to help others help you more.

WindowsUpdate sometimes decides to update video drivers. When they do, they have been known to simply remove OpenCL. You didn't tell us what GPU you have, so this may not have been your problem. Post the first 100 lines of FAH's log per the instructions in my sig block.

Personally, I've also had problems with FAHClient having the Blocked I/O port bug but that gets corrected if I stop and restart FAHClient. (or reboot).
