Anybody know how to get around a firewall? Update: Not having much luck.

[Slahr Dzhe]

Ok.. then try this one instead:

keyserver=slahrdzhe.dhs.org:80

Post and let me know.

You will need to edit the ini to however you want to be submitting blocks. the zip i sent you is TA cube specific (which is fine if thats who you want to be with) but otherwise you will need to change your ID if you are going to be on your own
Dasm router i still cannot get into my setup :|

 

[TripleJ]

Nope, same again.

 

[TripleJ]

cpars, what can I change it to?

 

[Slahr Dzhe]

Ok, then put the IP address back in there and keep using that for now. The speed you are getting from the machine is right on the money though. Athlons just happen to kick major arse at RC5 compared to Pentiums. I will see if I can find you a machine to use for your proxy that isn't revolving IP's. It may take a day or so, so just use mine for now.

If you are going solo just use your email addy, or if you want to be on a mini team there are several...TaCube...federation...TNC...Asylum..TWTA etc. it's up to you

 

[TripleJ]

Thanks Slahr Dzhe and cpars.

So by having TA Cube in the ID, where does the stats go to? What does the ID do and what does the keyserver do?

 

[TripleJ]

And also, how come there isn't any bar at the top of the box which has 'Client' etc on there?

 

[cpars]

TACube stats
The keyserver just serves you work and you send it back and depending on what keyserver you use will be where you pick up your stats, BUT you can also use your own ID and use dnets proxy servers and pick up stats at dnet or ...you can submit through some of the pproxys here and get stats at both places depending on how you enter your ID.

DID that make sense? :Q
sorry my POS router failed us

 

[Slahr Dzhe]

You did get the "The perproxy says: "Hexadecimal of Borg pProxy!" message then?

You are currently set up as a member of rc5@tacube.com which is the Borg. I will see what I can do for getting you your keyrate posted somewhere.. just need to figure out how to ppsats on my proxy box.

If you do not want to be a member of the Borg, use an email address that will not change for a long time like hotmail or yahoo. You will then need to follow the instructions for joining the team.. wherever those are now.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

[cpars]

yep I am headed for bed, let me know if i can confuse any further

 

[TripleJ]

Yep :

[Jun 21 04:28:50 UTC] The perproxy says: "Hexadecimal of Borg pProxy!"

I suppose I'm not too bothered where I am. Sounds like you want me on the Borg team. OK! That's fine by me.
Can't I just put my own email address in and sign up to the Borg team? Is this a team within Team AnandTech? I have already joined Team AnandTech through the Distributed.net website.

 

[cpars]

using the tacube addy is what makes you a member of the borg
And yes they We are part of Team Anandtech.

 

[TripleJ]

How do I differentiate myself from others then?

 

[Slahr Dzhe]

Until I have my proxy stats stuff done, there isn't any way to do it really. If you use your own email, you will show up as you. Keep in mind that my proxy will be going down in about 2 weeks for approximately 3 weeks while they move my line to my new place.. so if you can find an alternative, I would highly suggest it. Once the line is moved though, feel free to use the proxy.. that's what it is there for

See here for other possible proxies that are static in nature and have port 80 open. I believe all but tacube dump to the main team proxy where you can view your stats.

Any other questions, please ask.. we are here to help.

I've been having a go at trying different proxies but without success . Still got around two weeks to find another proxy though so there's hope yet. I'm not too sure where to get the right proxy though. Hopefully cpars router will behave itself. I've got the client running on 19 computers. It's taken a long time to put them on all the computers because there has been a lecturer in here almost all day. A couple of clients are going to my email and most going to tacube. They seem to have locked the other room for a couple of weeks untill next semester starts up.

Thanks again.

<< How do I differentiate myself from others then? >>


That will depend on a few things, but the best and easiest would have been if you could have set up your own pproxy. I am pretty sure Russ's pproxy is on a static IP and he does a great job of maintaining it. you are identified by you dns or the ip and or range you are sending your blocks from and you should not be hard to locate since you an .au flag beside your name and then get Russ to add a name to it such as TripleJ in the stripcache.pl
If all that sounds like too much just plug in your email addy in the id field and since you are already signed up at dnet and a member of TA, that will be it other than finding a keyserver that accepts on port 80.
I will do some checking on that too

 

[TripleJ]

cpars,
I couldn't really follow the first paragraph and it sunds a bit tricky so I just put my own email address in the ID. So all I have to do is find another proxy in the next 2 weeks, is that correct? I'm not too sure where to find one so I could use a bit of help with that. Thanks

 

[soni]

Try this:
proxy80.teamanandtech.com:80

it use team proxy on port 80

 

[cpars]

yea it really sounds like the best idea if you have several computers and no way too get them consolidated before sending out. But then again if you are on a network with one public IP seems like all would be routed and fall in line under one IP which would be easy to keep up with.
But I know nothing of corporate networks :Q

 

[TripleJ]

soni, nope, it doesn't work. Very fikkle thing this. Thanks anyway.

 

[cpars]

proxy1.rwc.ca.us.proxy.distributed.net:80
I pulled that from dnets proxy list
EDIT: looks like ray has found your answer below

 

[RaySun2Be]

TripleJ,
It seems to work when you put the IP address in instead of the dns name. Keep your email address and try:

24.94.17.222:80

That is the IP address of the Teamanandtech proxy that listens on port 80. If it works for CPARS proxy, it should work for this one.

That way you can have your own stats and get updates every 15 minutes (by checking the full and week stats at teamanandtech.com)

 

[TripleJ]

Thanks RaySun2Be, hopefully that will work. It sounds right. I'm back home now, I'll have to do it tomorrow. It's going to be a bit of a job. I've got about 40 computers and I have to change each one individually. Phew, it was hard work today. I was going at it for about 8 hours because a lecturer was in there and I didn't want to look too suspicious. It was fun being on a high-speed connection though, I could have a look at videos almost instantaneously! Makes my 56k at home feel really really slow now(Not that it didn't before mind you).

It was hard work because for the first room the lecturer was in there, and for the second room all the computers were turned off so I had to turn them on and they took ages to load up and do these crappy auomatic virus scans. I then had to install it, then make a scheduled task because the startup file is invisible(The IT people here are severly anally retentive when it comes to computer security), then restart the computers so the cow head couldn't be seen in the task bar(I linked the scheduled task to a client shortcut).

Thanks to everyone who has helped me over the last 2 days. It's partially mission accomplished.
Yay, I should be soon looking at about 60Mkeys/s. Does that sound about right?

 

[RaySun2Be]

TripleJ,
I haven't read the entire post, so forgive if this has been covered, but you DO have permission to install and run the client on these PCs, right?

It is very important to get permission because the ramifications can be quite severe for you and the team:

o You could get fired from your job. It's happened to others.
0 If a student, you could get into big trouble. Expelled maybe?
o You would get disqualified from the dnet projects and banned from participating.
o Team Anandtech could get sanctioned, or worse disqualified and banned.

I just wouldn't want you to get in trouble over this.

If you do have permission, then I would recommend installing the dnet client as a service. The CLI version uses a dnetc.exe -install option to install the service (assuming W9x or NT or 2K) and then execute dnetc.exe -svcstart to start the service. This is better than using a startup folder, as the client will start when the PC is turned on, even if no one logs in.
