I installed the smp client onto my dual-core opteron at home this weekend. My router died a few weeks back, and so my gf's computer has been the only one online ever since. Every once in a while when she's not doing homework or cruising myspace I borrow the connection and do updates, etc to my opteron gaming rig. I decided that I would go ahead and install the smp client and then every couple of days I would reconnect and exchange WU's. When configuring the CLI I decided to say yes on the "prompt for file uploads/downloads" option.

That's all fine and dandy, except that I got a new router this weekend. Now I don't want to be prompted, because if it finishes at any time besides the two hours a day I'm sitting at the thing, I'm losing valuable crunching time. I tried shutting down the CLI and starting it again, but it had saved my config and didn't prompt me to answer all those questions again. So I ran the install.bat file again, and then the fah.exe, and still wasn't prompted. Is there some specific step that would allow me to reconfigure this?

THANKS!

client file name -config is what you want to run

ie ./504-linux.exe -config
or whatever your file name is on windows.

You can do it from cmd prompt or open run and type the full path then -config
 
A possible workaround: go into task manager and end the processes for mpiexec.exe and smpd.exe . Also make sure fah.exe or fah_a1.exe are not running.

Using the setup file, reinstall the smp program right over the original. If it wants to "remove old program files" that's ok. Then go into install.bat, and fah.exe. Should now recognize the new config, and save all of your existing work units.
 
Open the client.cfg in notepad and replace the yes with a no.

Example: [settings]username=YourNameteam=198asknet=nobigpackets=yes
machineid=1local=2[http]active=nohost=localhostport=8080usereg=no

 
The file client.cfg is not a text file. If you edit it with Notepad the file might get screwed up. Notepad has messed up this file many times over the years. Possibly a binary file editor wouldn't mess it up.

To reconfigure the client in Windows I make a new shortcut by right clicking the fah.exe and select Create Shortcut. I usually rename to Config. Now right click the new shortcut and select Properties. In the Target textbox, at the end of what is in there, add a space, a dash, and "configonly" without the quotes. I also add the -local flag. It should look something like this:

C:\FAH\FAH.exe -local -configonly

When you run this shortcut, config will open and then close when done.
