Help! I'm behind a firewall!!!

[Konig]

I have a PIII 800 sitting here wanting to be hooked up to TA-RC5. I have the IP, username and password, but how do I get RC5 running. I heard someone say pproxy. What's that, where do I get it and how does it work.

Sorry, newbe questions...

Try these suggestions D.Net gives: Behind a Firewall. Team AnandTech has a round robin pproxy setup for computers needing to talk through port 80. proxy80.teamanandtech.com Or if your firewall has DNS problems, you can point it at my pproxy at 166.70.74.93:80.

Konig, you don't need to install a pproxy unless you have multiple computers that you want to coordinate. If that becomes a reality, and we hope it does, then a pproxy can help. For firewall access, try the port 80 method above, it is the most common fix, since simple firewalls only close all ports but the most common (23 and 80).

keep us informed about progress.

I'm up and crackin' That's two systems for me!!

I should have done this long ago.

 

[Jator]

Konig....Yes....you should have. =)

Konig,

Welcome with your new addition....!!! But now the punishment for not doing this a long time ago....You must assimilate more.....!!!😀😀😀

That PIII 800 will help out very nicely....I wish more Forum's members would match you on your addition...We wouldn't be having this trouble with the DPC!

😀

I added another pII450 to replace a p133. and a pIII500 today, targeting to more tomorrow.

Russ said the same thing (about doing this a long time ago) The important thing is that you are doing it now!

It is so nice that we have TA members running proxies on the http and telnet ports to beat firewalls. If you can browse the net, you can dump!

BTW Engineer, I added another 266 24/7 on RC5 today.

Yah, I'll have to get the others at work to join in. There are quite a few cad systems that sit all night doing nothing...

Now I'm just waiting for the email with the my password. It's almost as bad as waiting for new hardware in the mail. 😉

I had a Linux firewall to get throuh. I had to use the port the proxy was using and then specify the address of the machine with proxy. Then, I had to open that port up on my pproxy at home so that I could auto fetch/flush the blocks. Should add about 800 blocks a day to my total.

😉

WOOHOO!! I'm building an athlon system for my Dad. Chalk up another 800mhz system for the cause!

I use ZoneAlarm and simply answered yes to its query whether I want to allow the DNET client to access the Internet. Is there something else I should do? Also, when I'm not on my PC, I set ZoneAlarm to Stop All Internet Activity. Will this cause problems or will the client simply be unable to connect at that time and resume the connection a few hours later when I am on the PC (I spend about 12-16hrs/day online)?

 

[JonB]

The client will keep running even though it loses connection. Even if you totally forget about it for months and months, it keeps running. If it runs out of work, it makes some up for itself at random. While the random work is not preferred because it could duplicate previously checked work units, it is far better than nothing.
