F@H Qeustion - GUI version!

[Admiral Huddy]

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?

 

[Admiral Huddy]

The console version isn't working due to Firewall restrictions.. Can't say anymore than that

 

[Admiral Huddy]

yep that worked.. but it says it can't connect to server.. must be the fire wall - damn it.

 

[Admiral Huddy]

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).

Waiting before retry.


and this is the client.cfg file:

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

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



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

 

[Admiral Huddy]

Oi stop hijacking my thread!

 

[Admiral Huddy]

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

[08:56:47] + Attempting to get work packet

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.

Dunc

how is that done?

 

[Admiral Huddy]

Unfortunately it's not Linux.

 

[Admiral Huddy]

so what is the windows config syntax for the above?

 

[Admiral Huddy]

.. so no ideas anyone?

stupid question.. should each instance of the console you have running have different Machine IDs regrdless of the fact it's a different machine.

i.e. if my main rig is machine ID 1 and 2, should the other machine use 3 & 4 etc
