After installation,
If you are wanting to run RC5, make sure the following parms are in the dnetc.ini file:
My comments are the <----- below:


[misc]
project-priority=RC5,OGR=0,DES=0,CSC=0 <--------------Sets priority to run RC5. Default is OGR

[triggers]
restart-on-config-file-change=yes
pause-on-no-mains-power=no <-------- good idea to set this to yes for laptops, it will extend battery life

[rc5]
fetch-workunit-threshold=320 <---------this should be set based upon your PC speed to hold 2 or 3 days worth of work
preferred-blocksize=33 <------ preferred setting, helps keyservers, reduces network traffic
randomprefix=39 <----------leave this one alone, whatever it is set to

[networking]
autofindkeyserver=no <----------turn off if using a proxy other than distributed.net
keyserver=proxy.teamanandtech.com <--------recommended team keyserver, you can get stats updates every 15 minutes
nofallback=false

[logging]
log-file-limit=100kb
log-file=dnetclog.txt <-----I use a log file because I install the client as a service and run it hidden
log-file-type=fifo


These settings can also be set using the dnetc.exe -config or right click on the cow and select config
