SETI: SetiQ question

[bunker]

Every time my work machine connects to my setiQ it has a different IP and thus creates a new client. I know I can merge clients, but it's getting to be a pain to do this every day.

Is there any way around this? I want to be able to track each of my clients separately.

bunker,

If you log into the HTTP page of your queue and go to settings....there is a "New User Consolidate" funtion that you can enable. IIRC, that will take all new clients similar and combine them under one. Maybe someone else can shed some more light on this one....

I'm pretty sure this has to do with you having a dynamic IP ADDRESS assigned by your internet provider as opposed to a STATIC IP ADDRESS.

Are you dealing with computers all on the same LAN or computers in various other locations all using your Seti Email Address Account?

Edit: Nevermind the question, I just reread your post and you are talking about your "work computer".

Does the machine running the SetiQueue use an ISP that provides a DYNAMIC or STATIC IP ADDRESS?

Put a q on your machine at work and have seti send the work results to that q then have that q send the results to your home q where it should show up as the name of the work q

Or, set up the client at work to use another port, and set up a unique port for a client in SetiQueue 🙂

That is how Smokeball tells who has sent in what WUs 🙂

Oooh...that should do it.

Engineer, I don't want to consilidate them because I want to be able to track each client separately.

Smoke, the machine running setiQ has a dynamic IP, but I'm using dtdns and in my work client I'm using the URL given to me from them as the address to connect. Problem is everytime I reboot my work machine I get a new IP so setiq sees it as a new client.

Freewolf It took me long enough to get them to run seti, I don't even want to ask about running a server from my machine here 😉.

Did you understand what Confused said?

There are several steps to the process. Are you using a router at home (where the SetiQueue is installed)?

If you are, then step #1 would be to enter your router's Configuration Mode and go to PORT FORWARDING.

You will need to dedicate a few ports to handle your clients.

I would suggest: Ports 5501 - 5550 which would give you room to grow.

If you can do this, I'll give you the rest of the story. 😉 🙂

Yep, understood perfectly. And it's working fine.

All right, that is good news. 🙂

It is a real PIA when some of your computers stop producing and you don't know which ones they are. 😉

This should keep you in control and on top of everything.

Good crunching. 🙂

Good to hear, bunker 🙂

Now, Smokie, why didn't you think of that, huh, huh, why didn't ya huh huh? 😛 j/k mate 🙂
