If i get a good answer, I get lots of computers!

[William]

Ok, I need F@H to go through a proxy server. now, just telling it yes won't work. It needs to go through the HTTP Proxy port. If anyone knows how to do this, I can get approx 20 1.2ghz athlons.

[thefly]

Your admin has to set that up for you I believe.

[sfa ok]

I have no idea, but :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Superman53142]

Yes! It can be done. I did a quick Yahoo! Search and here's what anot[h]er site uses to go through proxies.

- Using F@H through a firewall/proxy etc.
Quickly: try , http://www.http-tunnel.com, HTTPort3 (http://www.htthost.com).

Be sure you gain permision for this, hate to see you get in trouble!

[William]

I have permission Dan, I am one of the computer guys at school. I have em for like a week and half probably for the client but then as soon as school starts, its the screen saver(it runs at login prompt). Will try those programs, just hope I can figure them out.

[Daniel ~]

Good luck!

[sfa ok]

Can't you set it up so it runs before someone logs in? Because with the screen saver...
1. It's slow
2. I've heard stuff about not getting credit with it

William:

Are the computers already setup in the lab? Do they have internet access currently? I'm assuming you've already tried this but ...I was able to run the client at work through a proxy server until we installed a firewall :(. I was logged on via dhcp and had explorer pointed to the proxy server and HTTP port 80.

I ran the client install, said "no" to the firewall question and was off to the races. I'm assuming the inital connection to Stanford at that point must have authenticated and opened up the necessary port on the proxy server. I think I rememberan earlier post that said the port was 10101??

[William]

yes, they all have internet connections. It is BSD firewall that is up. I am good friends with the guy who set the firewall up and he said it will all work IF it will go over the http proxy IE port 80. Explorer is set up to work properly. If I remember right, the port in the client file is more of an external port, anyways, it wouldn't work when I changed it.

*EDIT* It has worked at school before, but the admin punched a hole in the firewall allowing all trafic from the stanford ip to go through. I don't think it will happen this time though.

[AmbientFiction]

I am also working on getting the computers at my school on them I am going to talk to the schools admin and try and at least get 30 or more computers folding. I am not sure they will let me do it or not but I think I can talk to the school and let them know that they could write it off as a tax break. :D might work

I'd welcome 20 1.2s nonetheless. It'd be a great addition

as far as I know, no.

[Mord-Sith]

will it looks like the http tunnel program is just the thing you need. I hope it works out for you and us :D

As far as I know, the not getting credit for screen saver work is correct. When I tried it, it would not credit either of my machines, no matter what name I entered.

You may have to manually edit the config file. I think the screen saver has been sending units back as cs-sdk no matter what you tell it. That's what it did to me when I had it installed. 2.0 should fix this when it's ready.

[Ploaf]

Gotta love the screensaver. Just tried to install it several times to check it out and it crashed everytime. :rolleyes: I give up for now.

[GuNRocK]

man that would be awsome...i could ask the admin at my school but..its pointless getting 300+computers with 90% of them running Penitum75s it wouldnt completely a WU in the timelimit3 days....and there set up so after u reboot the computer everything is set up to a image file so we dont like try to screw up windows or something LOL...20 1.2ghz tbirds would be an awsome addition help us push up the list toward #1 alot quicker! :D :) :D

how about droping the program in the windows startup folder?

[GuNRocK]

hey man how about running it in Stealth at Idle Priority...so when cpu power is needed ppl can use it but then u can use thereg program and dont have to worry about your WU's not getting credit for. :)

isnt port 80 the same port the code red worm uses.

WOW Will, I hope you can pull this one off! Would be awesome! :)

Yeah, we'd have another Stanman - caliber folder on our side... enough for us to take out DSL a lot faster

[William]

looks like its going to be screensaver and folding gets half/seti gets half. The screensaveer works, go figure, unless I cna figure out how to work the client in the background at a network login prompt it won't get too much work done as it is hardly logged in. I can't tunnel as the firewall doesn't allow it, but the firewall guy will punch me some kind of hole.

[fireball****aka fireball_87]

im gona try to suck up to the admin at my highschool, but i dont think i will be able to pull it off untill at leased december.

ps: thay just got about 30 new dells :D

[Amedeo602]

at my college, we have about 60 CPUs around 500Mhz and are supposed to be getting P4 1.2's in shortly. Too bad the big boss man doesn't want the program going through the proxy :mad: :mad:

But it'd be great if we could get 20 1.2's :)

[William]

Status Update

Screen Saver is not working but F@H is on the admins list(he is a good friend, so its up there). Also, with the Novell stuff we run on the network, we can setup a program to run in the backround of the login prompt :). I also won the coin toss for the extra computer, seti gets 11 folding 12. Also, there will be a small beowulf going up too involving a dual 333 server, a dual 266 server, and probably a few celeron 300s and maybe another odd computer or two. It will be set to run folding and SETI and equal priority. Hopefully we can get this going soon to really soon.

[Allan Nielsen]

GREAT WILL!!! :)
That should really up your production quite a bit!

Let's all give it up for William! (Been to too many live concerts lately)
