SETI help, can't connect to server!

I've been doing some experimentation with running SETI GUI 3.03 in blank-screen saver mode, with OGR running at the same time.

The problem that I had running SETI before has returned. On occasion, I get a 'can't connect to server' problem, so it just keeps munching OGR until I maximize the SETI window. It will then connect with the SETI server and flush. This is the identical trouble that I had earlier this year running GUI ver. 2.? without running Dnet simultaneously, so I can't blame Dnet's client.

Is it time to set up a SETIQue? Is someone running a SETI proxy server that I can try to connect to?

As far as my experiment, it seems like OGR is taking up too much CPU time, slowing the SETI WU time to about 14 hours on my Celeron 366@550. I was doing around 8 hours with the old client. OGR production is down about 75%, so this all makes sense with the ver 3.03 performance hit. I wish that I could do something with the priorities to put more emphasis on SETI.

Have you got SETI set as a screensaver only? if so then thats probably why it doesn't connect until maximised.

Aw Ken !you mean you haven't already!?:Q yes! or some other one😉

>>>Is someone running a SETI proxy server that I can try to connect to?<<<<
There isn't a general 1 yet ,but if you want to crunch for me (or some other TA member) you could connect to my 2nd in commands SETIQ 😉hehe

>>>>I wish that I could do something with the priorities to put more emphasis on SETI.<<<<
You can 🙂 ,if you use SETIDriver ,as well as being a WU storing program(for single PC's) you can also alter SETI's priority 🙂
 
OK Mark, I'm getting the idea. 😉

Which is the best one to set up on a NT4 Server, which BTW is a K6 that runs OGR because it's the best darn project for a K6!! This machine is on cable 24/7 with a static IP.

I really want to make this dual project idea work!!

Viz,

I run setiQ quite happilly here on NT4. Although SetiDriver lets you set Seti's priority so high, that everything else on the machine almost grinds to a halt 🙂 hehe..

I'd use SETIDriver since it'll be a pain to get SETIQ to work once the SETI@Home server's IP address is changed.
