How come when i start the GUI version, it asks me for the log-in detail, then on pressing ok a few seconds later it prompts again but this time with anonymous. Then again, then again?

When clicking the icon in task bar, it says:

Donator - Anonymous
Team number - blank

Waiting for core:
step 2..

Loading ..benchmarking.. and stays like this..??

Any clues what's happening and why it doesn't say Huddy, team 10?
 
Can't say i ever had that problem, but i still changed over to the cli and made it a service. The gui version kept minimising anything that i had at full screen, right pain in the arse that was.
 
I use the gui version as i like the ease of control just by right clicking the taskbar icon... it's barely any slower than the console but it's more convienient to start and stop.

Can't understand the login problem. Seems not to be saving your username and login to to client.cfg in the Folding@Home folder.

Should look like below...

Code: 
[settings]
username=oceaness
team=10
asknet=no
bigpackets=yes
machineid=1
local=1

[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080
usereg=no
proxy_name=
proxy_passwd=

[graphics]
subtitle=Distributed Computing    -    http://folding.stanford.edu
drawgap=7500
drawtitle=1
saver_mode_enabled=0
saver_runs_core=0
saver_idle_minutes=1
drawlogos=0
logourl=
drawmode=2

[core]
priority=0
cpuusage=100
disableassembly=no
checkpoint=30
ignoredeadlines=no

[power]
battery=yes

[clienttype]

[timing]
p2306_BBA5_pfold in water=14.360000
sec_per_frame=14.360000
 
ok, seem to have overcome the connecton problem. I'm connecting using proxy server settings using www-proxy, port 8080, user name and password.

But now the status just hangs on "Attempting to get work packet"?


this is what's in the log:



16:18:42] + Attempting to get work packet
[16:18:42] - Connecting to assignment server
[16:18:42] - Successful: assigned to (171.64.122.141).

[16:18:43] + Could not connect to Work Server
[16:18:43] - Error: Attempt #8 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.


and this is the client.cfg file:



[settings]
machineid=1

[http]

try putting the IP address into IE (or whatever browser you have) on that machine

eg:
http://171.64.122.141/

you should get a blank white page with the word OK in the top left corner, if you can't get that then the machine is obviously still having problems getting connected
i'm assuming you don't have the option of asking a certain someone why it's not working :confused: :eek: :p

Ok i tried that and get Zero Sized Reply - Squid did not receive any data for this request.

:confused:

A friend here is running climate prediction from his desktop using the same ports using proxy server.. no problems there?

hmmm i thought the squid proxy problem was meant to have been sorted out a while ago - our very own Berserker helped them identify a problem :eek:


i'll have a little search around and see if i can turn anything up

edit: I just wonder if it's worth changing the option for "Use Internet Explorer Settings" to the opposite of whatever it is now - it's an odd setting which sometimes helps and sometimes doesn't

ok, i've swirched back to console and used proxy settings as i did with the GUI.. seem to get a different error:

any ideas before i give up on this machine?

cheers
 
I have seen problems with the default header size in squid causing it to reject packets if the header is too big. Try increasing from the default (which I think is 20kb ish) to 25kb and see if that works.
