Didn't see a walkthrough for this and figured I'd make one. This app is very useful and I hope this helps people who are new to using HFM!
What is HFM.NET?
It's a folding@home monitor application.
Why not just use the built in F@H monitor or the Lars?
HFM.Net tracks WU history, not just for the current session. It has a lot of other features that the others don't as well.
For example, here is WU history. This data can be exported to a .csv file for use in Excel or other spreadsheet applications.
How to install:
download the latest .msi file from https://github.com/harlam357/hfm-net/releases and install it:
Once installed, launch HFM. You'll need to configure the clients. Click 'Clients'->'Add Client':
Enter a client name for the computer (this will be the name displayed for all folding slots on that computer), enter the IP Address and port (default on the local computer is 127.0.0.1 and port 36330 as far as I know). Click 'Test Connection'. the folding slots should now show up in the list. Click 'Ok':
Your folding slots should now show up:
Next you'll want to set up your preferences. First go to 'Edit'->'Preferences':
Click the 'Options' Tab and fill out the identity information and ensure 'Auto Run on Windows Startup' is enabled if you want it to be and hit 'OK':
Next save your config file by going to 'File'->'Save Configuration'. You can put this anywhere, but I suggest somewhere safe such as in HFM's AppData directory (i.e. C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\HFM\) or something like that and name it something like "HFMConfig". Then click 'Save':
Lastly, we need to set it to auto-load the config file. Click 'Edit'-> 'Preferences' again, and on the 'Clients' tab, under the 'Configuration' section, check the 'Load Configuration File' and 'Auto Save when Changed' options. Then click the '...' button and navigate to the configuration file you just saved. Once you've completed that, click 'OK':
Now go to 'File' and click 'Save Configuration':
HFM.NET should now be ready to rock. It can be accessed via the icon in your system tray.

I download the zip file, also you left out 1 step: set each client for remote access. I'm using 2 PC's to monitor every thing, so I put those IP's in here.
