Distributed Hardware Evolution

Anyone had any success at getting Distributed Hardware Evolution to run ?
I'm still looking for something to float my boat but I can't get this thing to work :frown:

I keep seeing this in the command line window, doesn't matter if my firewall is enabled or disabled.

"Trying to get task from server //139.184.166.27/KingKong
InteractiveTaskClient exception: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 139.18
4.166.27:1099 connect,resolve)"

Could be something at their end, but it was like this the last week and the week before.
Running XP Home with java 1.4

I downloaded it and it seems to be working for me. What firewall are you using?

Norton Personal 2003. But it doesn't do anything even if it's disabled 🙁
 
I'm using islandnt.bat, yes and no, I couldn't get it to run the last times I tried.
I thought I'd give it another go today.

Have you ever gotten it to run?

Only for a couple of minutes or so, but I don't know what it's doing.
It doesn't connect and after a couple of minutes the service has to be restarted.
 
wait, you are trying to get it to run as a service(an XP/2000 service?) by running islandnt.bat? To get it to run as a service, you need to run InstallIsland.bat once, then you need to run the service manually or reboot the computer (I think, I didn't install it as a service.)

No, I installed it as a service but couldn't see anything happening. So I emailed the person in charge asking how I could see what was going on and he told me to use islandnt.bat. But it's still not doing anything <sigh>
 
I assume before you stop the service before you run islandNT.bat? because I don't believe that you should have both running at the same time. What might be happening is that the service is still running and using the port that the islandNT.bat is trying to use.

So make sure the service isn't running and try running islandNT.bat.

OK I'll give that a try.
Let you know 🙂
 
Tried it, didn't work.
I'm beginning to think it's something to do with the Java version I'm using(1.4)
It says (somewhere I think) that 1.3 upwards should be used but I need 1.4 insatlled and can't downgrade 🙁

I'm using the latest version of JAVA and it's working fine for me. I'm running j2sdk1.4.1_03

Got a link ?
I'd love to know what you are seeing....
 
I must be doing something stupid or omitting something totally obvious. But WHAT THE HECK IS IT ???
 
Also, go to start-run and type in cmd.exe

Then type in java, if you get a bunch of text saying what parameters java should have, java is installed correctly. If you get something like java isn't found, then java isn't in your path property.

Sorry, I don't know what else it could be.

I got the same, but I have java.policy instead of java_policy. hmmmm

AHA, a ray of light, where did I get java_policy instead of java.policy ??? Even save file as comes up as java.policy.
Kick my butt if this works 😱 😱
Oh for crying out loud, same message "access denied"??
Oh well, saved me a kick in the butt 🙂

cd INSTALL_DIR
:begin
start /low /b /wait java -Djava.security.policy=java.policy -jar ITClient.jar 139.184.166.27 KingKong JetBlack69 -i 30 -c 60 MYEMAILADDRESS
