SetiQ Question: Consolidating like clients

I swear I did this in the past but it seems to have "undone" itself or I'm losing my mind (you decide which is more likely 🙂 ).

Is there a way in SETIQueue to automatically consolidate like clients by name/ip? Basically I have someone who is on a Verizon DSL connection and their DHCP lease must be 3-4 hours because it changes multiple times per day therefore leaving my client list w a billion of these clients w one or two returned work units. I can go to tools/merge client and merge the two but doing that until I get their entire DHCP scope into one client is a little beyond where I'm looking to take this. Basically I need *.phil.east.verizon.net to automatically go to one client. I would rather avoid dedicating a port to the client, if that would even solve the problem.

Client Page
 
One of the easiest ways to fix that is give them a port besides the default 5517. I have a buddy who crunches in Australia for me on dial-up and thats what i did! If you need help setting as port, let me know - I'm more than happy to help!!

Once you set his/her latest client as the port recipient, then you can consolidate all of those into the one you set the port for.

 
Just be carefull he doesnt direct your clients to his Q. 🙂
Toy know how them there BBR folks are.

On a serious note. I would be interested in the answer to this aswell.
 
What BBRskeebercat said.

I had the same situation with "dkvamme". I must have had three pages of CLIENTS from this one user. I contacted him and we worked out the situation as BBRskeebercat described. I dedicated a port to him and he changed all of his machines to that port. Problem solved.

He is now the second biggest user of my Q: http://www.smokeball.dns2go.com:5517/queues.htm

Thanks for all the good responses, this should work, any chance there's a way to do this with only a server-side config? I swear I did this in the past and now it seems to have gone back to the old way like FM. Client is obviously remote and I really don't want to have to explain how to change the port or ask to copy a new .cfg file. It's my little sister and well, she's a chem engineering major but let's just say not all that pc savvy.
 
You could always give her a self-extracting file with the new .cfg and a batch file to install it? Then she just has to run the file 🙂
 
All you need to do is go to the web page for the server. Log in using 'admin' and whatever password is set up on it, then click on tools and dedicate a port to a client. It will list all the clients who have hit the server. Pick your client and give it an alternate port number. It's that easy!
I've saved a picture of the port setup page at http://www.skeebercat.net/avatars.htm -- it's at the very bottom. I'll check back in a little later to see how things are going!
 
Hey Skeet that's a nice looking Toyota... What is that a Celica?

Where is the Garage? Oh well... I'm looking to buy a Mazda RX-8... Ummm... Maybe I should start looking at the Toy's too.. 🙂



 
Providing this is an individual Seti user (and not just a client of someone elses user) then you can log into SetiQueue, go to the user, click "Edit settings" and then there is an option there for "Consolidate Clients", which will put all clients from that user into 1 client.


Of course, if it's just someone you've got running under your account, you wouldn't want to do that, as it will lose the individual stats, in which case you'll have to dedicate a port to a client 🙂

Thanks!! 😉

It's a 2001 Celica GT, a little Christmas present to ourselves.

Oh yeah, the detached garage is in front of my old but still fun RV!
