ever since the server was taken down last week, I have been getting this "communication deferred" message. So my computer has not been doing anything for the past week. anyone else getting this? any solutions?
Communication deferred

This is built into BOINC to keep it from hammering servers that don't respond. You'll quickly get into a situation where it's gone into a week-long backoff.
Go into BOINC manager, go to the projects tab, highlight Einstein@Home, hit update.
That'll force BOINC to communicate with the servers again and you should be good to go.
Do nothing, the clock will continue to count down and when it hits zero BOINC will try the server again and you should be back in business.
If you're still having problems, please post back with the messages under your messages tab.

FWIW, and since I don't recall anyone mentioning it here on the EAH forums, the next public release of BOINC should have a tweak that eliminates this problem for the most part.
The new version will reduce the deferral time from 7 days to 1 day (IIRC) when you get too many failures fetching the scheduler list.
