Proxy Prob Solved: Need a team RC5 AND OGR

[fdiskboy]

Help me out. I've browsed through here and found some good info. I've downloaded the client and my CPU is working on it.

Where do i go from here? How do I join a team? Suggestions anyone?

Thanks!

Update: Thanks to everyone for their help, I've got my work machine setup as a proxy serving four machines at the moment, got another three at home cracking. They are as follows:

1 850 Tbird
1 400 Pent II
1 450 Pent III
1 300 Pent II
1 350 Pent II
1 300 Pent II
1 90 Pent

More to come! However, I need a team or mini-team to join. Any takers?
I've got a couple of machines working on OGR and RC5 so I'd like to find an OGR team as well.

Some nicely illustrated instructions are here.

Which project are you working on? If you're on SETI, click on the Alien in my signature. If you're on RC5, click on the link above, or the Milk below.

fdiskboy--Glad to see you here. Should I assume this is my special gift from this thread Need Help> I see mine was the only response so I guess it gets most helpful by default .

Ignore those Seti guys )), we need you on RC5! BTW, this isn't a hardware forum, but there are some high-powered Geeks lurking, if they have anything to add/correct im my response to your Need Help thread, they'll chime in.

 

[fdiskboy]

RC5 is what I dled per your instructions. =) Got something else with your name on it, assuming you have a TCBY in your area. Drop me an email with your address and I'll snailmail em out to you.

I'm using my pathetic P2/400 right now, and it's workin' itself to death on this RC5 stuff.

 

[JimMc]

Though I personally believe I look nicely trim and fit , not all (including my wife) would agree :Q. Use those TCBY coupons to bribe a friend to join TA!

You can download Russ' preconfigured client disk here Russ Disk and then print out the relevant pages from Paulson's magnificent web page here Paulson's Page. This will make assimilating fresh meat much easier. I did a box of floppies this weekend, will start handing them out at work on monday. I figure out of every 10 disks I hand out, one or two people will sign up. Doesn't really cost me anything, we have lots of floppies at work .

The process of crackin & recruiting has turned me into a real Boy Scout, I am now willing to do good deeds and favors, I then request they join TA to square things. I need to work on my Don Corleone impersonation...

 

[fdiskboy]

Ok, new question.

I think my new PC is finally stable, so I dload the latest RC5 client and get cracking.

However, it pulls OGR and RC5 packets down. Why is it working on OGR stubs? I just wanted to do RC5.

(Pardon my confusion) It also seems to be taking forever to work through these packets. Should it be taking hours for each one?

TIA

 

[Russ]

Add the following to your ini file, and restart the client:

[misc]
project-priority=RC5,OGR=0,DES=0,CSC=0

Russ, NCNE

 

[Grimwold]

Ummm, open up your configuration, then go to 2)Buffer and Buffer update options.
then select 9)Load-work preference.
Then type
DES=0,CSC=0,OGR=0,RC5

The =0 after the contest name turns it off(it will not attempt to get work units for that contest.) Ciao!

 

[fdiskboy]

Thanks Russ, Done. (And Grimwold)

 

[fdiskboy]

My, my those RC5 packets move SO much quicker than the OGR...but then, I'm sure you guys already knew that.

 

[dennilfloss]

Hi fdiskboy,

Welcome to the team. Didn't I send you instructions?

 

[Dantoo]

Hi there fdiskboy and moooocho welcowmes to the greatest team on the planet

 

[fdiskboy]

denni,

Yes, you did. Unfortunately I did not print them out--and so I'm back here, grovelling for help.

 

[fdiskboy]

Ok, new problem. At work, I'm working behind a Proxy Server (M$) 2.0. I keep getting a NetUpdate::Unable to assert handshake integrity message--it seems I am unable to actually pull down blocks to work on, so my work PC is just cracking random blocks. Anyone seen this message before?

Thanks

fdiskboy- welcome to TA!

If you are having firewall problems with the standard ports, try setting the keyserver address to proxy80.teamanandtech.com, that will put you through the standard http port 80.
Good Luck

Osmo.

 

[fdiskboy]

Thanks, trying that now

 

[fdiskboy]

Same problem. Strange.

 

[RaySun2Be]

FDiskboy,
Try using the IP address of the proxy80 server, and port 80.

[networking]
keyserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80

I would give you the IP addy, but I cannot ping from inside our firewall.

 

[fdiskboy]

I got the IP, but it gives me the same error. Starting to really annoy me.

I could really crank out the blocks if I could figure out how to connect through our firewall, got a lot of people here who would load up the client and crack.

 

[fdiskboy]

I guess I'll try to snag a modem and dump once a day.

What a drag.

 

[Clueless]

Don't give up quite yet fdiskboy! Have you tried HTTP tunneling?

[networking]
nofallback=true
autofindkeyserver=no
keyserver=proxy80.teamanandtech.com:80
firewall-type=http
firewall-host=<your Proxy Server>:<your Proxy Server port>

I would have offered to work with you on this but I've so darn busy lately. Maybe some of the other old geezers can help out? Good luck.

 

[fdiskboy]

No problem. Just kills me the wasted blocks.

Tried that too. It's probably our proxy server's setup. Our network admins are just about clueless.

Even more so than I am. (Scary, huh)

 

[RaySun2Be]

Fdiskboy,
Does the PC have an Internet connection? If so, go into the communications/connections settings of your browser and see if they have it set to use a proxy server just to double check that you are using the correct proxy server. If so, make sure your http tunneling as shown by Clueless' settings is set to that proxyserver and port. Try the IP addy as well as the DNS name, if it has one.

 

[fdiskboy]

Yes, it's the correct proxy and port. Haven't tried it by IP yet, I'll do that tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips.
