Setiqueue and DHCP

[Domination]

Is it possible to setup Setiqueue on a machine that has its IP address assigned by DHCP???

Inquiring minds want to know 😀

 

[Orange Kid]

sure, then have the clients connect to it by machine name 🙂

OK, what do I put in as the IP address in the general setup screen? Do I use a local loopback addr?

Or you can use fixed mapping in your router. Mine allows you to select a MAC address and always give it a certain ip. Then you just forward outside requests for port x to that ip.

I wanna setup a queue at work, because all my Linux crunchers are pretty unhappy right now (no queued up WUs)...

I have no access to the router, and they only provide IP address to Windoze boxes via DHCP...

So if I use 127.0.0.1 as the address in the general setup, it will work??? ie. seti clients can connect to the queue by name

Seems a little odd to me that it needs the IP address of the queue at all, but... 🙂

I just read this on the setiqueue web page:

Seti@home proxy server settings - this allows you to set the IP address, subnet mask, and port number that SetiQueue will listen to and response to SETI@home clients that contact it. If a SETI@home client contacts the server's SetiQueue port, but is not within the IP address range (as defined by IP address and subnet mask) then the server will not respond to the client.


Now if I read this right, I think that any valid IP address on my subnet will be OK to put in this field... ie. it only uses it to validate that machines within the subnet are connecting to the queue.

Can anybody verify this???

I dunno, try it out. 🙂

I think you can just put in 0.0.0.0 for the IP address and 0.0.0.0 for the subnet mask, and anything should be able to connect to it 🙂
