got an 853mhz running dnetc.exe, i don't know what i'm cracking (rc5, ogr, etc), so therefore i don't know how to look up my stats, so i can't join the anandtech team! help please ;\
 
Sure thing. Is the client running in a window? If it's running as a cow icon in the Windows taskbar, double-click on it to bring it up in a window.

If you see stuff like this:

[May 29 21:23:35 UTC] Loaded RC5 32*2^28 packet 33A78248:70000000

then it's doing RC5. If you see something about OGR stubs, it's doing OGR.


To change the client to run just one or the other, edit your dnetc.ini file. For example,

project-priority=RC5,OGR=0,CSC,DES would make it so the client will only do RC5. <--edited an error, doh!

 
<<what the hell am i doing with this thing? >>

I have no &quot;idea&quot;.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I made a funny🙂

Sorry, couldn't help myself. It's just one of those days.
 
Hmm, I can't find your email addy in the stats. Are you sure it's doing OGR. Post your .ini file.
 
You can edit it out now 😉 I searched Dnet's OGR stats to see if they had an OGR page up yet for you... nope, but maybe tomorrow, if your system has actually completed and flushed an OGR stub.

RC5 packets crack a lot faster than OGR stubs, so within 24 hours after your client flushes an RC5 packet, you should have an RC5 page that you can search for at Dnet's RC5-64 stats. If you find that you have either an OGR page or an RC5 page at Dnet, you can join the Team by way of the &quot;please email me my password&quot; link.

Joining from either page will make you a part of the AnandTech team, they go together. 🙂


By the way, you might want to right-click in the client window and select &quot;Flush&quot; just to make sure the client flushes instead of stacking up a bunch of work units before flushing them to Dnet. Depending on the configuration of the client, you can have situations where it will try to do all the work it has on hand before it flushes the completed units and gets more, and that would delay getting your stats page and password.

idea, that dnetc.ini file is different than I'm used to seeing. Do you run Linux perhaps, or another non-Windows operating system?
 
Ok, just a hunch here, but I'm guessing you might have downloaded a *NIX version of the client instead of the Windows version. With the client running in a window, right-click in the window and choose &quot;Restart,&quot; then look at the line that shows the version and see if it says it's for Windows:
