question about the client.cfg

[Tech_Pen]

I'M new to the board and new to folding and im not sure if I set the cfg file right, all i did was add me name where it says username.
I just copy and pasted is in here and wanter to know if this was correct.
I did read a guide but got the impression that all i had to do was add my name, if this is wrong please let me know before I add more computers
I have 2 out of 5 running now so please clue me in.
Thanks

And only use NOTEPAD to edit the client.cfg...

next question is there some way for me to see some sort of results of what im doing ?
a fold-o-meter or somwthing ?

Ok I am new as mentioned so please be patient complete cluelessness (I'm maken up words... look out)
I have added a zip with my client.cfg in it can someone please take a look at it and if its broken please fix it.
after checking the previously posted sites it see what if anything i and done so far, I found nothing...
Granted i have no clue how much time it takes to show results but i sure would feel better if i know i wasnt spinning my wheels like a mouse on a excercise wheel.
Thanks

Thanks for the feed back guys heres one question and with any luck it will be my last one for a minute or two.
I am behind a router i did read the below thread but found it not so helpfull. so do 1 need to open port 8080 if so would that be tcp or udp and does it require a diffrent trigger port?
Or is this not required and it just takes a while to get any results?
