F@H Question - Now a different question - nevermind

Hmmm...one more question.

If i've downloaded the next WU onto my laptop is it even possible to get another one for another PC? Is F@H like SETI where WUs are just handed out or do the WUs have to follow a certain path?

Also, mgpaulus, no Linux on the network and no Linux experience in my head either

I'll try and Telnet from that PC when I get home tonight.

In order to get another one you will have to have another instance of the FAHconsole.exe running on that machine. It uses a queue file to keep track of the wu's.

That many boxes & no Linux?? Wow, you have many more $$$$ than I do, to be able to afford all the Micro$oft software

Well, some came with Winders and the rest of the licenses came from a couple of upgrades, the Action Pack license, beta-to-release licenses so I'm covered


Oh, and bunker, this is on a totally separate machine that's never had F@H on it before so other than using the same account, it should work, right?

To quote Brian Regan:

"I'm a DOOFUS!"

I went into the Filter tab on my router and found a large range of ports being blocked. Turned that off et voila! F@H is working!! I have two SETI WUs left to finish on this box and then it will be dedicate to F@H!

GRRRRRRR

Sorry for the trouble, folks!

Yep... It's either something very basic, or something very esoteric.....

Ahh well, glad you found it, and we are looking forward to your contribution to the "fold".....

Ok...got home and saw the first WU on the new PC was completed!

Fired up a copy in a separate folder and now have both CPUs folding!

Ok, another question.

Sometimes when I get home I see a pop-up message stating something along the lines of "The Folding @ Home program file could not be found. Please re-install" or something like that. Can't tell if it's affecting processing or not.


EDIT: Nevermind!!! It was the screensaver trying to run...and I got rid of that I suppose
