How in the heck do you get setiqueue to work??

[Adul]

It wont cache wu for me for some reason. I am at alost as what to do next. I have seti queue installed on a local server here. This is server is sitting behind my pc that is sharing a modem connection. But it appears to be having problems connecting to grab WU. 🙁 help!

Can you browse to the queue from your local machine..

Can you go on the net from the queue?

Do you use proxy settings or what to connect to your shared modem?

Basically, we need some more info...

I use my main desktop as a proxy to connect to the internet.

I am on dialup sadly 🙁 for now.

my 2k server is 192.168.0.4
gateway is 192.168.0.1

in the seti@home server settings is that the machine I am using as a server? or will the be that actually berkley main seti server. If so what ip address and port shall I use?

would I need to foward any ports specificly either?


I can ping the berkley seti sever, I can browse the seti que from my locall machine just fine for now.

Based on this info..

Your W2K machine is your queue, right?

Then 192.168.0.4 is your proxy address for your seticlient, and (standard) port 5517 is the port used to check the stats.
The queue will use port 80 for transport of data, so thats the port your desktop should forward.

If you want to control the times, you have to set the connection times.
I usually do all my connection though the webinterface.
After you have installed the setiqueue, start it with the GUI, set the password and yiu can log in with Admin and the password and control all via the webinterface.

To get it going the best way it to deliver a completed unit to the queue, so it can connect to berkely and start the download of units.
So to get going, try to run the seti client on the server, without any parameter.
When it have downloaded a WU (and you have logged in with your accoint), Press Ctrl+c.
Then call the seti client with the parameter seti.exe -proxy 192.168.0.4:5517
That should start the process..

Assuming your setiqueue is on your 2k server, then set it to 192.168.0.4 or you can also use 127.0.0.1
if you can ping setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu from that machine, then you should be in good shape

 

[cakin]

Now - the trick question is how do you get one setiqueue to home off of another setiqueue? Assuming both queues are using the same user name.

 

[soni]

By using SetiQueue to connect to another queue you have to use as Connection Type WinINetProxy using http://setiqueuename or IP for the Proxy Server and 5517 for the Port.
