Actually I don't think you have to change any network settings. The server needs to 2 nic cards one is setup to your existing network and the second card goes to a hub and or switch. Then you can add crunchers to the hub or switch as fast as you can build them. I might be mistaken on this TC would have to clarify it but I thiink this would be the best way to go. This would also minimze headaches when adding or removing crunchers.LandShark said:so, it could co-exit on a setup'ed local network, right? guess all it need is to change some of the network setting.
would like more info since i never use Linux..... but it sounds like a good way to grow a farm!!
Yes, but without a good network connection it really slows things down. Since the seti client has to access its files on the server's hard drive it's important to have a fast connection. One of my nodes is a P4 1.6A that used to average 3 hours per unit. Now it's veraging 4:10 - so the network has added an hour to its average.LuKE said:I see this is really taking off. Another point i thought would be worth mention. I understand that running seti on a full blown win or linux box is the same. But here were running seti on a "bare" linux install. No overhead to take cpu or mem resources.
Does that make sense or should i just lay the wacky stuff down and get back to work?
That card has a rom for windows. You need one to boot a linux kernel. These people have them for quite a few cards, but they're pricey. By the time you get a nic and one of these boot roms you've spent more than a floppy drive costs.hallen said:TC- What about a boot ROM like this?

It worked great with Netware. Would it work with your cluster?
