questions. hubs, routers, seti cruncher on linux.

[muttley]

Can I connect these ok? I just aquired a Linksys Hub EtherFast 10/100 8-Port Workgroup Hub Model EFAH08W version 2, this has uplink in a 9th position.
Can I use the uplink into my Switch? Another Linksys, a Switch not a Hub.
BEFSR41 EtherFast Cable/DSL router with 4 ports and the WAN connects to the cable modem and there is a uplink also. (I don't remember if the 4th and the uplink are an either or type thing just right now there is ports 1- 4 filled and an uplink open.
Any Ideas if I can plug in a hub to a switch? and do I plug the uplink into say port 3 or 4 or put the 2 uplinks together?

Next problem I now have a cruncher a A7V motherboard with a 700 duron processor at 927 all hardware wise is running well.
I need help getting it to grab wu from my SETI queue.

I thought I would ask if someone already has the solution of redirecting this to my seti queue on port 195.168.1.105 (I'm tired also, cause I tried getting this up and running on a k7s5a with the 686 and 386 code)

I went to this web site http://www.members.shaw.ca/dan.mckay/dlssseti.htm
FreeSCO-SETI Cruncher.
I'm using the impatient one disk version.

I am using the 386 vervion. Tried the 686 version on a k7s5a motherboard and am brain fried not being able to get it to work and am hacked out. I thought I would ask if someone already has the solution of redirecting this to my seti queue on port 195.168.1.105

When I use the program and type in ./setiathome all I get is something like updating current version then then choose 1 or 2 new member or current user then it downloads a wu and crunches away.

thanks

to point seti cli to a port(proxy/port) instead of typing "./setiathome" you need to type
"./setiathome -proxy 195.168.1.105:5517". the "5517" is assuming your setique is on its default port. the port is listed in the settings menu in setique. hope this helps.

I just went through a very similar situation. which linux are you useing? I started with red hat 8.0 for about 1-2 days then I tried mandrake 9.0. glad I did! much easier for this windose user to get around in.😉

hey Muttley

well I got mine running to the queue by doing the following

run the 686 or the 386 image (doen't matter with the duron both will work).
let the thing boot all the way (you don't have to run setup unless your using a fixed ip, dynamic is default)
now go to another PC (I used my windows pc) and telnet to the cruncher (the cruncher will display the ip before it gives the login but if you use a router you can check the ip from the router admin)

now his instructions are fairly good at this point so

enter login root
password is password

type cd /www/seti1

now this is just like the windows CLI
type ./setiathome -proxy 195.168.1.105

that will start the cruncher and will ask for your email (I386) or will start cunching using the user_info.sah file on the floppy (I686)

now press <ctrl> c

if your using the I686 version and don't want to have to type your email again or want to set it up in auto crunch (btw hasn't worked at all for me) type sh /opt/keepusr.sh

now just type

fork ./setiathome -proxy 195.168.1.105 (have no idea what this is supposed to do but doen't do any harm)
and exit

now you will be able to surf over to the crucher with your browser with no problem

As far as the hub and switch no prolem doing it the way you want to do it. I have a netgear RP-114 router and I have a compaq netellignet switch but no uplink on the switch (optional) and I have no problem just connecting the two.

you should only have to plug the uplink of one into any free spot of the other except the uplink (though it may work, mine don't have any uplinks and they work fine)

need any more help with FreeSCO-seti let me know I'll do what I can.
